Socca Pizza with Roasted Veggies

Socca or "Farinata" is a chickpea based flatbread. It's great for gluten-free pizza. 

Ingredients:

¾ cup chickpea flour
¾ cup hot water (hot tap water, around 120ºF)
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. black pepper
½ tsp. oregano, rosemary, or basil
1 tsp. minced garlic
3 tbsp. olive oil, separated
Roasted veggie toppings:1 cup of your favorite veggies chopped (bell peppers,mushrooms, roma tomatoes, zucchini, artichokes, fennel, or onions)
1/2 cup of fresh spinach
1 tbsp. of minced parsley

Instructions:

1Set oven to 450 degrees
2Toss your veggies into a bowl with a tablespoon of olive oil and lightly coat
3Place cut veggies into a roasting dish and roast in oven for 20 minutes, until soft and lightly brown or crispy on the edges.
4Remove veggies and set aside.
5Place an oven safe round or deep square dish in the oven to heat (cast iron will work as well).
6In the mean time prepare your Socca crust.
7Whisk together chickpea flour, hot water, salt, pepper, oregano and garlic in a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil, whisk to incorporate. Set aside
8Once dish inside oven is hot, use an oven mitt to remove it and place it onto a heat-proof surface.
9Pour 2 tablespoons of the oil into your oven heated baking dish and swirl to coat.
10Stir the batter once more and pour into the oven dish. It will sizzle a little so be careful. Tilt the pan (use your oven mitt) to fully coat the batter.
11Place all toppings except parsley, and spinach.
12Bake 12 minutes until the edges are crisp and brown and the vegetables are a softer and a little browner (not burned)
13Remove from oven and immediately place parsley, and spinach on top with fresh ground pepper.

Cook's Tips:

This dish is very filling. One slice (6 ounces) is recommended per serving.

Those that decide to add cheese, try a low-fat shredded mozzarella or goat cheese (2-4 tbsp.) The cheese should melt from the heat if placed on top of the veggies and crust right after removal from the oven. If you want a heavier melt, then place back into oven at broil for 2-5 minutes until the cheese is the consistency you want.
