Recipe | Zucchini Pizzas

Pizza?! On zucchini?! Well, I'm sure you've had a veggie pizza with zucchini on it, so why not the other way around? These zucchini pizzas are a healthy and delicious alternative to everyone's favorite carby, cheesey food!

I made these tonight for dinner, so this recipe will only yield enough for one or two, if pairing with a side dish.

1 zucchini, sliced in half and seeded
some extra virgin olive oil
a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
about 1/4 cup crushed tomatoes - use however much you want, really
roughly 1 oz. fresh mozzarella, sliced or diced
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tsp fresh basil
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat your oven to 350° F.

Take your halved and seeded zucchini and drizzle with some olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Pop that in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the zucchini is starting to soften up.

Once the zucchini is roasted a bit, take it out of the oven and start assembling your pizzas. Split the crushed tomatoes between the two halves, as well as for the fresh mozzarella. Put the zucchini back in the oven for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese melts.

Sprinkle with the fresh parsley and basil and enjoy! :)
