  3. Grease the grill with non-stick cooking spray.
  4. Place the mushrooms on the grill with medium flame, cover the grill and grill till it turns tender, flip it to the other side as well.
  5. Place the marinated fennel on an aluminum foil, place the aluminum foil on the grill, cover the grill and grill for a few minutes till it has turned tender.

  12. Place on the grill, cover it and let grill for 10 minutes or till the cheese has melted.
  13. To make grill marks on the bottom side of the naan pizza: After the cheese has melted, lower the flame to very low or turn off the grill and place the naan pizza directly on the grill for 2-3 minutes till the grill mark appears. Make sure not to burn the bottom side.

Notes
Use baked pizza crust instead of naan.
You could top any of your favorite veggies and cheese or top with chicken cooked with sun dried tomatoes.
Cedar plank imparts a nice woody flavor to the pizza
