Method

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients. Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan.

2

Drain the soaked lentils and pour them into a food processor along with the psyllium husks, olive oil, water, salt, and garlic powder. Blitz until the ingredients have combined into a soft dough.

3

Transfer the dough onto a sheet of baking parchment and divide into equal pieces. Use your hands to flatten each piece, then cover with another sheet of baking parchment and roll the dough into oval flatbread shapes, about ½ cm thick. Remove the top sheets of baking parchment and transfer the flatbreads onto a baking tray (use multiple baking trays if you need to). Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Flip and bake for another 5 minutes.

4

Remove the flatbreads from the oven and spread a layer of pesto over each. Arrange the asparagus, courgette ribbons, peas, artichoke, Romano pepper slices and hazelnuts over the top, and drizzle with olive oil. Return to the oven for 10 minutes. To serve, top each flatbread with capers, lemon zest, a few dollops of ricotta; and season with salt, pepper, and chilli flakes.
