¼ cup diced cucumber
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread ½ cup of hummus evenly over each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.

Drizzle the olive oil lightly over the flatbreads and sprinkle with dried oregano and black pepper.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the flatbreads are warm and slightly crisp at the edges and the toppings are heated through.
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Slice and serve warm.
Servings and timing
Servings: 2 flatbreads, serving 2 to 4 people
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10–12 minutes

Variations
You can add roasted vegetables such as bell peppers or zucchini for extra texture. Swap plain hummus for roasted red pepper or garlic hummus for a different flavor profile. For a spicier version, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or drizzle with a little chili oil before serving.
Storage/Reheating
Leftover flatbread can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place it in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5 to 7 minutes until warmed through. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it may make the flatbread soft rather than crisp.
