Number Of Ingredients 19

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 canned pizza dough
1 large egg, beaten
2 japanese eggplants, cut into 1 (2.54cm) in
2 yellow bell peppers, seeded and cut into strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ tablespoons Za'atar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ¾ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
3 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 tablespoon tahini
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons water
1 cup hummus
¾ cup cherry tomato, halved
2 tablespoons toasted pine nut
⅓ cup fresh parsley leaves
⅓ cup fresh mint leaf, torn

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
  • Unroll the pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet. If needed, gently stretch the dough out to a roughly 12 x 8-inch rectangle. Gently roll about ½ inch of the dough around the edges inward to create a crust. Twist the corners to resemble the bent tassels of a magic carpet. Use a fork to prick holes all over the center of the crust. Brush the crust and "tassels" with the beaten egg.
  • Bake the crust for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 425°F(220°C).
  • On a separate baking sheet, toss the eggplant and yellow bell peppers with the olive oil, za'atar, cumin, cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon salt until well coated. Roast for 12-15 minutes, until the eggplant is beginning to soften and the bell pepper is tender, but not mushy.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, and remaining ¾ teaspoon salt. If the sauce is too thick, add 2-3 teaspoons of water, a little at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
  • Spread the hummus evenly across the pizza crust, staying inside the rolled edges. Arrange the roasted eggplant and bell peppers and the tomatoes on top. Drizzle with the yogurt-tahini sauce, then top with the pine nuts, parsley, and mint.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!
