I'm a huge fan of Thai food, but don't always have the time to make it at home. To get my fix, I top fluffy naan bread with a ginger-peanut sauce, fresh veggies, a sprinkle of cilantro and a spicy squiggle of Sriracha. —Rachel Seis, Taste of Home Senior Editor

Ingredients

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons sesame ginger salad dressing
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 naan flatbreads
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 small sweet red pepper, julienned
1/2 cup julienned carrot
1/2 cup sliced baby portobello mushrooms
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Sriracha chili sauce, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°. For sauce, mix first 4 ingredients until blended. Place naan on a baking sheet; spread with sauce. Top with cheese and vegetables.
Bake until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Top with cilantro and, if desired, drizzle with chili sauce.

Test Kitchen tips

To wash cilantro, dunk or soak in a deep container of water to allow any dirt or grit to settle on the bottom, changing the water 2-3 times. Gently blot the leaves dry.

The peanut butter mixture makes a great dip for fresh veggies like celery or cucumber. Add Sriracha or crushed red pepper for a bit of heat.

Cut the pizzas into smaller pieces for a restaurant-style appetizer.
