Quick MealsThese 6 unique recipes for using flatbread are not only a great base and use for leftovers, but also easy crowd-pleasers! Gluten free, grain free, vegetarian, vegan, and easy to make.
We made it through the last week of August and (for most) the first week back to school and routine. Were there tears of joy on the first day? Or tears of “my babies are growing up too fast!?” Haha, probably both! For us, it means SCHOOL TRAFFIC everywhere. Like whoa! Totally forgot about that.
Okay, speaking of school and routine, I’m going to finish up this back to school “theme” and easy gluten free meal “routines” for the week. Remember, we started off with this delicious easy casserole, rolled on through the week with an effortless crock pot shrimp dish, and now we must take all out leftovers and do something tasty (yet resourceful) to finish off the week.
Which leads me to this recipe round and concept. I know, I know, I say that phrase a lot, but it’s true. My whole concept of an intro is to cleverly reveal the recipe. Is it working? Haha.
But this round up… IT’S Fab! Why? Because it’s a crowd pleaser. Like the paleo crowd, kid crowd, pizza loving crowd, breakfast crowd, and the vegan crowd. You get my point…
Flatbread recipes make things EASY and DELICIOUS for ALL!
I’m going to stop right there and just get to all the recipe. Besides, my brain only works till about 8pm on Thursdays, then creeps a slow school zone speed of 20mph until Monday. I know you can relate.
Now, bring on leftovers and lots of flavor LOVE! .
Surf and Turf Flatbread on gluten free thin crust.
Quick, go look in your fridge. Do you have leftover cooked veggies, meat, or fish? Then you can make this. All you need is a gluten free pizza crust or even naan bread! Super easy, quick, and healthy!
This flatbread is topped with our leftover beef tips ( via 5280 meat) and sizzlefish Salmon. Now I’m wanting it again. Gah… soo good!

Cinnamon Raisin Flat Bread (Paleo)
I love Arman’s sweet flat bread recipes because it makes a great Brinner (breakfast and dinner)! You know, when all you have left in the pantry and/or fridge are eggs, bacon, and fruit? Yep, flatbread with eggs/bacon and whatever veggies/fruit you have left. Dinner is served. I mean BRINNER!
Pizza Flatbread Recipe (Vegetarian)
I love how simple Jen’s pizza flatbread is. And she used NAAN! Yay! All you need are veggies (even frozen will work) and cheese. Bam! Your Friday night Pizza dinner is ready!
Flatbread for One (Vegan)
Have you ever tried socca? If not,you must! It’s super easy and a great flour for flatbread. It’s made from chickpeas! Amanda’s Socca Flatbread for one is awesome for when you need just lunch or dinner for one! Take all your leftover veggies and throw them on top! She used massaged kale, olives, and sun dried tomato. To me, that screams –> Pour some wine with this! Am I right? YUM!
Fall Flavor Flatbread (Gluten Free and Grain Free)
Yes I know, it’s not Fall yet but it’s close. And Gina’s Apple, Delicata & Blue Cheese Flatbread makes me want to jump forward to September ASAP! What I love about this dish is that you can probably use a similar squash. So if you don’t have delicata yet, try summer squash or zucchini. I bet you have some leftover somewhere, yes?
Spice it up and Fill it up Flatbread
Okay, so what if you already have flatbread but you need a good filling to go in it. This is where Taylor’s recipe comes in handy! You can definitely use leftovers. I know a lot of you must have cauliflower somewhere in the freezer or already cooked. Just chop or grind it up with a little cabbage salad, and use Tamari sauce versus soy to make it Gluten free! I bet this would great on naan bread or your favorite gluten free tortilla too!
Well, that completes easy meal week! Did you try any?

Cheers to Flatbread Friday! (Too Corny?) 😉

I think tonight’s dinner is going to be pizza now.
I love the flat bread concept. It’s all about easy and the TOPPINGS, my favorite part.
P.S. My brain shuts down at like 6 p.m. every night.
This is so smart! I love it. Thanks for the inspiration.

Have a great weekend, friend!
next time i need to add yours! and i need to try it!
You know I totally have a weakness for flatbread. In my mind, flatbread>pizza because of the texture, ratios, and all of the fun things that go on top (I feel like people have more fun with them). Also, puff pastry is totally worthless nutritionally, but it is magical for a base.
the puffiness is always worth something though, right? haha
Pinned! Can’t wait to try!
This is hands-down my go to way to use up leftovers! Everyone needs to hop on the flatbread bandwagon! Thanks for including my broccoli babe! Love you AJ!

These all look great! I love new ways to use up leftovers since I always seem to be the one responsible for “cleaning out” the fridge. YUM!

I don’t know why I don’t make pizza more often. Now to think of something unique! I’m intrigued with socca. I must try!
oh you gotta try it! you’d love socca
Planned overs as my mom use to call them and these are reasons why I would purposely make extra flat breads!
haha love that phrase! will use it!
I want them ALL…Especially that surf and turf! Look delicious as always…Happy Friday friend! Hope you’re well! XOXO
I’ll save you a slice.. or two. 😉
I have an awesome flatbread recipe I need to post- stay tuned- it involves Brussels sprouts and beets!
oh yay! love both of those!
Heheh #FlatbreadFriday. Love these little round-up. I don’t make flatbread meals, generally – it’s a nice idea to use up leftovers!
“Flatbread Friday” isn’t corney at all! I love it!
hehe yay!
We actually just made a socca pizza last weekend! It was awesome. I love this round up – flatbread for everyone!
These all look so delicious – I’m hungry now! The fall flavor flatbread is everything I want right now- already on board the everything apple and squash train here!
I could eat all 6 of these right now! That cinnamon rain one is genius.
All of these look ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! You have me drooling!!!
Yes! me too! Drool fest, haha.
You had me with the photos. These flatbreads with leftovers look amazing. What a great way to serve up leftovers!
right?! I need to have someone make me all of these each week! haha
Not even kidding, going to make your surf and turf this week- I’ve been meaning to make it because you said SURF AND TURF.
do it! and then make more cinnamon raisin flatbread and send it my way!
YUM! we are totally grilling flatbreads for dinner tomorrow pizza style, and these just inspired me! per usual 😉
I haven’t thought about making my own flatbread before. It seems like it would be rather tasty to try out with pizza and such! Maybe next time I go to the store I will get some ingredients to make some!
let me know if you do!
I did and it turned out rather well I feel. We are planning to do it more often, thank you for the recipe!
