What are our favorite add-ins? If we want a little something extra to the Mediterranean hummus flatbread, then we’ll add some red onion, black olives, and a drizzle of pesto to the base ingredients! If you have some in the pantry, a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts is also great (but quite pricey).
This hummus pizza is best enjoyed on the day it’s prepared, if you want to enjoy the warm base and cold toppings. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. Note that the base will get soggier over time.
You can also freeze the hummus pizza if the veggie toppings are baked (which will help preserve their texture). Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
In terms of making it ahead, you can always prepare and store your own pizza bases in the freezer. Likewise, the hummus can be prepared several days in advance. You could even make any roasted vegetable toppings several days in advance. That way, you just need to throw it all together - and voila!
You can enjoy this Mediterranean hummus pizza (without vegan cheese) alone or alongside:
