Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium zucchini (about 8 oz each)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ cup pizza sauce
  • ¾ cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella
  • ¼ cup mini pepperoni slices
  • ¼ tsp dried oregano

Method
 

  1. Cut zucchini into ¼-inch rounds. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and blot tops with a paper towel.
  2. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on each round. Top with mozzarella, a few pepperoni pieces, and a sprinkle of oregano.
  3. Broil 4 to 6 inches from the heat for 4 to 5 minutes, until cheese is melted and browned in spots.
  4. Cool 1 minute on the pan, then slide a spatula underneath and serve warm.

Notes

Room temperature zucchini will cook more evenly than cold ones straight from the fridge. If you want perfectly crisp edges, place the baking sheet under the broiler for 1 minute before adding the zucchini to preheat the pan, though the 5-minute cook time still works without that step.
