- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp coriander
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Roasted Vegetables
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 red onion, sliced

Roasted Garlic Hot Honey Whipped Feta Cream
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp hot honey
- 2 cloves roasted garlic, mashed
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Black pepper to taste
Others
- 4 flatbreads
- Fresh parsley or mint for garnish (optional)
- Roast the Vegetables: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Toss the zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 15–20 minutes until they become tender and lightly caramelized.
- Cook the Ground Beef: While the vegetables roast, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart as it browns. Cook until no longer pink.
- Season the Beef: Add paprika, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the beef. Stir well to combine. Mix in 1 tablespoon of tomato paste and cook for another 2–3 minutes to deepen flavor. Finish with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, stirring thoroughly.
- Prepare the Whipped Feta Cream: In a food processor or blender, combine crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, hot honey, mashed roasted garlic, lemon juice, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Warm the Flatbreads: Gently warm the flatbreads in the oven or on a skillet until soft and pliable, about 2–3 minutes.
- Assemble the Flatbreads: Spread a generous layer of the roasted garlic hot honey whipped feta cream on each flatbread. Top evenly with the cooked spiced ground beef and roasted vegetables.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally garnish with fresh parsley or mint. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Roasted garlic adds a mellow, sweet flavor to the whipped feta cream—don’t skip roasting the garlic.
- Hot honey can be substituted with regular honey mixed with a pinch of chili flakes if unavailable.
- You can swap flatbreads with naan or pita for variation.
- For a lighter option, use lean ground beef or substitute with ground turkey.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat flatbreads gently to preserve texture.
