# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F.

03 - In a food processor, blend Kalamata olives, capers, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice to form a coarse paste.
04 - Place naan breads on a large baking sheet and spread each with a generous amount of olive tapenade.
05 - Top each naan with roasted vegetables and crumbled feta cheese.
06 - Bake in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes until the naan is crisp and the feta is lightly golden.
07 - Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh basil and chili flakes if desired. Slice and serve warm.

# Tips from the Pros:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than ordering delivery, and tastes infinitely better.
  • The contrast between crispy naan edges and creamy feta catches people off guard in the best way.
  • You can prep components ahead and assemble right before eating, making it perfect for busy weeknights.
02 -
  • Don't skip roasting the vegetables separately—it concentrates their sweetness and creates those caramelized edges that make all the difference.
  • Spread your tapenade generously; it's the flavor anchor that ties everything together, not an afterthought.
03 -
  • Make the tapenade a day ahead so the flavors deepen and meld—it actually improves overnight.
  • If your naan tends to dry out, wrap them in foil until you're ready to use them, then toast them lightly before spreading.
