I’ve joined Divemex and a bunch of my fellow bloggers to celebrate all things bell pepper in a #PepperParty like no other! This is the 2nd day of the party (who doesn’t love a party that lasts more than 1 day?!), during which we’ll be sharing delightful ways to gobble up those gorgeous red, yellow, and orange bell peppers (as if raw isn’t fantastic enough on its own!) AND there will be prizes! Oh, yes, will there be prizes!
Each day of the party will feature a different prize valued at around $200. Today’s prize: a Wusthof Classic 8” Chef’s Knife-a $190 value! My most favorite knives are the two Wusthof ones I have–my treasures. They are well-balanced in the hand and slice beautifully. More like artist’s tools than crude cutting devices, you’ll want to show off your Wusthof. And use it often! You can enter for your chance at this awesome Chef’s Knife in the Rafflecopter widget at the bottom of this post.
The growers at Divemex specialize in greenhouse grown peppers in state of the art facilities that facilitate the production of the highest quality peppers in some of the safest facilities anywhere. But most importantly, as a Fair Trade Certified company, they have an unwavering commitment to social responsibility that puts workers first. Why not show them you care, too, by visiting them on Facebook. They’d love to see you stop by!
Before we get to my Onions and Peppers Naan Pizzas, why not see what the other dishes on the table are? There have been so many wonderful ways to eat bell peppers presented already. I can’t wait to see the latest recipes!

Growing up, one of my favorite pizzas from our usual pizza joint was covered in thin strips of green peppers and onions. Sure, you could scare away vampires for miles after eating it, but it was such a pleasure. Onions and Peppers Naan Pizzas are my updated version, using colorful (and more flavorful) yellow and orange peppers, while pre-cooking the onions so they get a little more caramely. This would probably be even better if you went so far as to caramelize the onions first, but I was trying to keep this manageable enough to be a weeknight meal. Goat cheese replaces traditional tomato sauce and mozz, elevating this pizza to a whole new level of sophistication. As for the naan–what can I say? They make fabulous pizza crusts and are available just about everywhere these days. I prefer them to pre-made pizza crusts. I could eat this just about every day and be happy.
Onions and Peppers Naan Pizzas
Ingredients
- 4 pieces naan
- 8 ounces chevre softened
- 1 orange bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 large Vidalia onion
- 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon Maldon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Lay out the naan and spread 2 ounces of chevre on each. Set aside.
- Thinly slice the bell peppers and onion. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil over medium to medium-high heat until it shimmers, then add the peppers and onions. Saute until the peppers start to get soft and the onions start to take on some color, about 6-7 minutes.
- Add the salt and pepper and stir.
- Top each naan with 1/4 of the mixture, spreading evenly.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Let sit for several minutes before slicing and serving.

Pizza on Naan bread…excellent idea!
Pizza on Naan sounds like something I would devour! I actually love eating bell peppers raw with hummus- simple and delish!
Peppers + hummus = match made in heaven! Fabulous snack!
Those peppers look so buttery soft!
Great idea to use naan! isnt naan so good? I once attempted to make a naam pizza and what ended up happening was that I just kept ripping pieces of the naan off and tasting it. Before I knew it, no more naan.
Once I start eating naan, it’s hard to stop! I love the garlic naan just warmed up… mmmm! But they’re so wonderful as pizza crusts, too, if you can stop yourself. 😉
ohh this looks so yummy!! I looooove Naan bread. Goat cheese and peppers seem to be magical together! I like having my bell peppers sauteed with sausage and onion. YUM!!!
I really wanted to throw some sausage on there, too, but since I already used sausage in Day 1’s recipe, I figured I’d try something a little bit different.
This sounds great! You’re probably going to think I live under a rock…but I’ve never thought or heard of using goats cheese for pizza. It sounds incredible!
PS: I’m a fan of any German knife…the craftsmanship is pure perfection.
You haven’t lived til you’ve had goat cheese on your pizza! Let me know what you think of it, if you try it! (And I’m with you–German knives are superb!)
Love naan, love cheese, love peppers… Will have to try this!
Let me know what you think! The bonus here was that I didn’t have sauce dripping off the naan and all over the bottom of my oven! Ha!
Happy Pepper party to Poet in the pantry! (That’s a lot of alliteration!)
Now say that 5 times fast! 😉
From the naan to the goat cheese to the peppers to the onions…I am innnnn love!
And it’s just so darn easy, too!
Onions, peppers and goat cheese, I’m in heaven!!!
I am a huge fan of onions and goat cheese (in fact, somewhere in the archives, there’s a recipe for a focaccia with caramelized onions and goat cheese!). 🙂
what a fabulous idea, using naan as a pizza crust…..pizza is on the menu for next week, i will try this, see what the clan thinks; thanks for the great idea! as many ways i use bells in just about everything i cook, my favorite is just good ol’ comfort-food stuffed peppers ;0)
Let me know how it goes! Naan has been my little secret for a couple of years now. So many wonderful ways to use it!
