Vegetarian Greek Pizza Flatbread & Spinach Sauté

Quick and flavorful, this flatbread is topped with nutritious veggies and classic Greek ingredients such as feta and olives. Canola oil’s high heat tolerance stands up well to sautéing and baking, plus its neutral taste lets the recipe’s fresh and vibrant flavors shine. Garlicky spinach on the side rounds out the meal.
