CRISPY ROAST VEG
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a roasting tray with tinfoil and spread the butternut pieces and onion wedges over it. Coat in oil, the Cajun Rub to taste, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes, until cooked through and crispy.
CHEEKY CHICKPEAS
Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, toast the drained chickpeas for 12-15 minutes until crispy and caramel in colour, only shifting occasionally. If they start to pop out, use a lid to rein them in. Season on completion and set aside for plating.
GET FRAÎCHE
Combine the crème fraîche with the chimichurri. Season to taste and set aside for serving.
PREP THE FLATBREAD
Once the butternut and onion are cooked, remove from the oven and set aside. Discard the tinfoil. Return the tray to the oven and turn up the temperature to maximum. Once the tray is hot, slide on the pizza base and par bake for 3-5 minutes until lightly golden. Remove the base from the oven, leaving the tray inside to keep hot.
TIME TO ASSEMBLE!
Flip the base over onto the other side, sprinkle with the grated cheese, and top with the roast onion and butternut. Slide the flatbread back onto the hot tray and bake for 5-10 minutes until the cheese has melted and the base is crispy.
FINISHING TOUCHES
Time to plate up. Top the flatbread with the crispy chickpeas and rinsed green leaves. Dollop with the creamy chimichurri and drizzle over some balsamic reduction. Would you look at that, Chef!
