ALADDIN-INSPIRED MAGIC CARPET PIZZA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
• Unroll the pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet. If needed, gently stretch the dough out to a roughly 12 x 8-inch rectangle. Gently roll about ½ inch of the dough around the edges inward to create a crust. Twist the corners to resemble the bent tassels of a magic carpet. Use a fork to prick holes all over the center of the crust. Brush the crust and "tassels" with the beaten egg.
• Bake the crust for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 425°F(220°C).
• On a separate baking sheet, toss the eggplant and yellow bell peppers with the olive oil, za'atar, cumin, cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon salt until well coated. Roast for 12-15 minutes, until the eggplant is beginning to soften and the bell pepper is tender, but not mushy.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, and remaining ¾ teaspoon salt. If the sauce is too thick, add 2-3 teaspoons of water, a little at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
• Spread the hummus evenly across the pizza crust, staying inside the rolled edges. Arrange the roasted eggplant and bell peppers and the tomatoes on top. Drizzle with the yogurt-tahini sauce, then top with the pine nuts, parsley, and mint.
• Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

ROASTED EGGPLANTS AND BELL PEPPERS WITH YOGURT AND PINE NUTS

Steps:

• Prick the eggplants with a pointed knife to prevent them exploding in the oven. Place them and the peppers on a large piece of foil on a baking sheet and roast in an oven preheated to 425°F for about 45 to 60 minutes, until the eggplants feel soft when you press them. Turn the peppers one half turn after 25 minutes and take them out before the eggplants when they are soft and their skins are blackened in places.
• As the peppers come out of the oven, drop them in a strong plastic bag and twist to seal it closed. When cool enough to handle, peel them, remove and discard the stems and seeds, and cut them in half or in 4 lengthwise.
• When they are cool enough to handle, peel the eggplants and drop into a colander. Press the flesh gently to let the juices run out. Cut each into 4 pieces and turn them in a little lemon juice to prevent them from discoloring.
• Put the eggplants and peppers on one side of a shallow serving plate. Dress with 3 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper and mix gently. Mix the two types of yogurt together, beat in the garlic and some salt, and pour onto the other side of the plate.
• Just before serving, fry the pine nuts in the remaining oil, stirring, until very lightly browned, and sprinkle over the yogurt. Pass the dish round for people to help themselves.
