Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Fresh spinach is an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin B6, all of which have significant roles in reducing inflammation in the body, all of which help in the case of infertility. One tbsp of honey has a glycemic index (GI) of 55.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 (10-ounce) package frozen spinach, thawed
1 (9-ounce) package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
Cornmeal (for pans)
1 pound frozen pizza dough, thawed
All-purpose flour (for surface)
1/2 pound Parmesan cheese, grated on the large holes of a box grater (about 2 cups), divided
3 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto

Instructions

Position racks in middle and upper third of oven and preheat to 475 ºF.
Heat oil in large heavy skillet over medium. Add garlic and parsley and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add spinach and artichokes, toss to coat, and cook, covered, until artichokes are tender, 10 –12 minutes. Uncover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until juices thicken, about 2 minutes. Season with 1/2 tsp. salt and a pinch of black pepper. Remove from heat and stir in lemon zest.
Sprinkle 2 rimless baking sheets with cornmeal. Roll out half of the dough on floured surface to a 12x7" oval. Transfer to baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
Sprinkle each round with 1/2 cup Parmesan, then top evenly with artichoke and spinach mixture. Top with remaining 1 cup Parmesan and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until crust is golden brown, 20 –22 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine honey and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
Remove flatbreads from oven. Top with prosciutto and drizzle with spicy honey. Cut flatbreads into wedges and serve.
