Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love how this pizza brings together unexpected ingredients in perfect harmony. The naan makes for a quick and satisfying base, while the blueberries add bursts of juicy sweetness that contrast beautifully with the salty feta and deep, mellow flavor of caramelized onions. It’s a fun twist on traditional pizza, ideal when I want something a little different but still comforting.
ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
- Naan bread
- Fresh blueberries
- Crumbled feta cheese
- Yellow onion
- Honey
- Olive oil
- Balsamic vinegar
- Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
directions
- I preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- I thinly slice the onion and cook it in olive oil over medium-low heat until caramelized—this usually takes about 20-25 minutes. Partway through, I drizzle in some honey and a splash of balsamic vinegar to deepen the flavor.
- I place the naan bread on a baking sheet and lightly brush it with olive oil.
- I spread the caramelized onions evenly across the naan, followed by a scattering of blueberries and crumbled feta cheese.
- I bake the pizza for about 10-12 minutes, or until the naan is crispy and the cheese has softened.
- After removing it from the oven, I drizzle with a little extra honey and sprinkle fresh thyme on top if I have some handy.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes 2 servings if I’m enjoying it as a main course, or 4 servings as an appetizer. From start to finish, it takes about 35-40 minutes, including time to caramelize the onions and bake the pizza.
Variations
- I sometimes swap feta for goat cheese if I want something even creamier.
- A balsamic glaze drizzle after baking adds a tangy-sweet finish.
- I use gluten-free naan when I want to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Adding arugula after baking gives a peppery bite that balances the sweetness.
storage/reheating
I store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I pop the pizza into a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5-7 minutes to get the crust crispy again. I avoid microwaving, as it makes the naan soggy.
FAQs
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes, I can use frozen blueberries. I just make sure to thaw and pat them dry to avoid excess moisture on the naan.
What kind of onions work best?
I usually go with yellow onions for their balanced sweetness, but red onions also caramelize well and add a slightly different flavor.
Can I make this ahead of time?
I can prep the caramelized onions in advance and store them in the fridge for a few days. I assemble and bake the pizza just before serving for the best texture.
What’s the best type of honey for this recipe?
I like to use a mild honey so it doesn’t overpower the other flavors. Wildflower or clover honey works great.
Can I grill this naan pizza?
Absolutely. I grill the naan for a couple of minutes on each side, add the toppings, then finish it on indirect heat until the cheese is warm and the blueberries start to burst.
Conclusion
This Blueberry Feta & Honey-Caramelized Onion Naan Pizza is one of my favorite creative spins on pizza night. The flavors are bold yet balanced, and it’s easy enough to throw together but fancy enough to impress. Whether I’m serving it as a light meal or a shareable appetizer, it’s always a hit.
