Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and place the naan on a cookie sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- While the naan bakes, prepare the garlic cashew cream sauce by combining the soaked and drained nuts in a blender with the remaining ingredients. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Add more water as needed to thin.
- Remove naan from the oven and set aside to cool a bit while you prepare the toppings.
- Spread a layer of garlic cashew cream sauce on top of each naan loaf, and then top with shaved asparagus, green onion, and crushed red pepper. Bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes, until warm.
- Sprinkle with fresh dill and drizzle with olive oil or balsamic vinegar (optional). Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- *Soak the cashews in a bowl covered with several inches of water for 6 hours or up to overnight. You can also soak them in very hot water for 30 minutes.
- As an alternative to the cashew cream sauce, you can use a combo of ½ cup shredded mozzarella and ½ cup Parmesan cheese. Place half the mozzarella on the bottom of both flatbreads, then top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 10-12 minutes.
