Garlic Naan Pizzas with Roasted Garlic, Red Onion and Sweet Italian Sausage

This is a really quick and easy meal that I can pop in the oven when I have a pizza craving but don't have the time to deal with waiting for dough to rise, rolling and a mess. The KEY for incredible flavor is to roast a head of garlic ahead of time. You do this by cutting the top 1/2 inch of the entire clove, drizzling it with oil salt and pepper then completely wrap the clove with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes at 375 F. It sounds like a lot of garlic but when it's roasted it has a much more subtle and sweet flavor. I could (and do) just pop cloves in my mouth. Yummmmmmm.

I served with a large spinach salad topped with pear, avocado, red onion and feta.

Ingredients:
2 Garlic Naan Flatbreads
2 tsp oil (I used grape seed)
1 precooked Sweet Chicken Italian Sausage, cut into half rounds
1/4 red onion, cut into thin rounds
8 cloves garlic, roasted
1 oz parmesan
1 oz mozzarella
1/2 tsp dried oregano

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 F and line a baking dish with foil. Place Garlic Naans on the pan and top each with 1 tsp oil. Next layer the pizzas with mozzarella, sausage, red onion, garlic and top with parmesan, and dried oregano. Bake for 15 minutes on the upper middle rack of the oven.

Serves 2
