Ingredients
Pizza Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough homemade or store-bought
- 2 medium zucchini sliced thin
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil or oregano for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Preheat your grill or oven to the appropriate temperature.
- Slice the zucchini into thin rounds. Toss with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- On a preheated grill, cook the zucchini slices for 3-4 minutes on each side until tender and grill marks appear.
- Spread a thin layer of olive oil on the rolled-out dough. Arrange grilled zucchini evenly over the base and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
- If using a grill, place the assembled pizza on the grill and cover. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 475°F for 10-12 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the pizza from the heat and sprinkle fresh basil or oregano leaves on top before serving.
Serving
- Slice the pizza into 8 pieces. Serve warm with a side salad or your choice of accompaniments.
Storage
- Place any leftover pizza in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to retain crispness.
