Spinach and Feta Flatbread Pizza

Spinach and feta flatbread pizza is my go-to recipe when I need something healthy, satisfying, and ready in less time than it takes to order delivery. With simple Mediterranean ingredients and a crispy whole wheat base, this flatbread transforms into a restaurant-quality meal that actually keeps you full.

I discovered this recipe during a particularly hectic week when I needed quick dinners that didn’t compromise on nutrition. After experimenting with different flatbread toppings, I landed on this winning combination of garlicky spinach, tangy feta, and sweet sun-dried tomatoes. The flavors remind me of my favorite Greek restaurant, but this homemade version is lighter and costs a fraction of the price. Whether you’re meal prepping for the week or need a last-minute dinner solution, this spinach and feta flatbread pizza delivers maximum flavor with minimal effort.

What You’ll Need for Your Flatbread Pizza

I always use whole wheat flatbread as my base because it holds up beautifully to the toppings without getting soggy, plus it adds extra fiber and nutrients. Pro tip: if you can’t find flatbread, pita bread or naan works just as well for this recipe.

• 1 whole wheat flatbread or pita (6-inch)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (I prefer full-fat for better flavor and texture)
• 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (oil-packed or dry, both work)
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste

For equipment, you’ll need a baking sheet, parchment paper (optional but helps with cleanup), mixing bowl, pastry brush or spoon, sharp knife, and cutting board.

How I Make This Flatbread Pizza Every Time

I recommend preheating your oven before you start prepping because this spinach and feta flatbread pizza comes together so quickly that you want your oven ready to go.

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if desired.

Step 2: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and minced garlic together. Let this sit for a minute while you prep your flatbread. The garlic will infuse the oil with incredible flavor.

Step 3: Place your flatbread on the prepared baking sheet. Using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon, brush the garlic oil evenly over the entire surface. Make sure you get all the way to the edges for maximum flavor.

Step 4: Pat the fresh spinach leaves dry if needed, then arrange them over the flatbread first. They’ll wilt slightly in the oven and create a perfect base layer. Distribute the crumbled feta cheese evenly on top, followed by the chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Don’t pile everything in the center or your flatbread will get soggy in the middle.

Step 5: Sprinkle the dried oregano, salt, and pepper over the entire flatbread. I use about 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of black pepper, but adjust to your taste.

Step 6: Bake for 8-10 minutes. You’re looking for edges that are golden brown and slightly lifted, with slightly melted feta. The spinach should be wilted and the sun-dried tomatoes warmed through. Watch it closely after 8 minutes because flatbreads can go from perfect to overdone quickly.

Step 7: Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 1 minute before slicing. This brief rest helps the toppings set and makes it easier to cut clean slices.

Perfect Pairings for Your Flatbread

This spinach and feta flatbread pizza pairs beautifully with light, fresh sides that complement the Mediterranean flavors.

Simple Arugula Salad: Toss peppery arugula with lemon juice and olive oil. The bright, citrusy notes balance the rich, salty feta perfectly.

Creamy Tzatziki Sauce: This cool, cucumber-yogurt sauce adds extra protein and creates a refreshing contrast to the warm flatbread.

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus: Serve alongside for dipping the crust. The smoky sweetness enhances the sun-dried tomatoes.

Lemon Herb Quinoa: Add this protein-packed grain for a more substantial meal that still feels light and Mediterranean.

Cucumber Tomato Salad: Fresh vegetables with red wine vinegar dressing provide a crunchy, tangy complement to the soft flatbread pizza.

Storing Your Leftover Flatbread Pizza

Store any leftover spinach and feta flatbread pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator at 40°F or below for up to 3 days. I recommend placing a paper towel in the container to absorb any excess moisture and keep the crust from getting soggy.

For reheating, skip the microwave and use your oven or toaster oven instead. Heat at 350°F for 5-7 minutes until the edges are crispy again and the cheese is warmed through. This method restores that fresh-from-the-oven texture that makes this recipe so good.

You can prepare the garlic oil mixture and chop your toppings up to 2 days ahead. Store them separately in the fridge, then assemble and bake when you’re ready to eat. This makes the recipe even faster for busy weeknights.
