Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Arrange the naan on the baking sheet. Drizzle an equal amount of olive oil over the surface of each piece.

Finely mince the garlic.

Sprinkle the naan pizzas with the minced garlic. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over each naan piece. Drop small amounts of ricotta cheese equally over them. Sprinkle each pizza with Italian seasoning.

Bake the pizzas on middle rack of oven until naan is crisp and cheese is bubbly and golden, 12-15 minutes.

Check to see that pizzas are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Allow pizzas to cool on baking sheet for 2-3 minutes. Top with basil ribbons and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if desired, then slice and serve. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Naan Crisping Technique 🥯
Brush the naan with extra-virgin olive oil before adding toppings to ensure a perfectly crisp and golden base that doesn't get soggy.
Garlic Intensity Control 🧄
Roast minced garlic in olive oil briefly before spreading to mellow its sharpness and develop a deeper, sweeter flavor profile.
Cheese Layering Strategy 🧀
Create a flavor barrier by spreading a thin layer of ricotta first, then top with mozzarella and Parmesan for maximum melting and complexity.
Fresh Herb Maximization 🌿
Tear basil leaves instead of chopping to prevent bruising, and add them immediately after baking to preserve their bright, fresh flavor and vibrant color.
Oven Positioning Hack 🔥
Use the top rack of the oven and set to broil for the last 1-2 minutes to achieve perfectly golden, bubbling cheese without overcooking the naan.
