Autumn vegetables are so abundant and creating a delicious grilled vegetable pizza using naan couldn’t be easier. Naan is a perfect vehicle for just about anything from sweet treats to savory bites. Toasted naan with bananas and Nutella is a favorite.
Today we are starting with grilled naan, topping it with whipped ricotta with a slight hint of lemon and olive oil. I would be happy to stop there, but we are going further with grilled autumn vegetables, arugula and a bit of crumbled goat cheese.
Whipping ricotta transforms it into a smooth and creamy ingredient that is extremely versatile. The savory version can be used with salads, crostini, and pasta, while a sweet version is perfect on fresh fruit or baked goods. Its uses are limited only by your creativity.

Directions
For the Whipped Ricotta
- Combine the ricotta, olive oil, lemon juice, zest and salt in a food processor with metal blade, or a blender.

For the Pizza
