Zucchini is a summer squash that’s incredibly versatile, flavorful and healthy, not to mention that it contains zero fat. But have you ever thought of making a zucchini pizza? Here’s how!
Ingredients:
- 6 small zucchinis (about 4 oz each)
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 3 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 small onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup ricotta
- 1/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp grated parmesan
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce
- 1/4 cup mini pepperoni slices
- 2 oz mozzarella coarsely grated (1/2)
- chopped parsley
Instructions:
- Heat the oven to 4750F and put a small baking sheet in it.
- Cut the zucchinis in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh and put it aside.
- Add 1 tbsp oil on the halved zucchinis and put them on the baking sheet with the peel up. Bake them for 4 minutes then take them out.
- Put the remaining olive oil in a skillet, add the onions, salt, and pepper and cook on medium heat. Let it sauté for 5 minutes. Add the flesh to the skillet along with oregano and let it cook for 2 min. Put ¼ cup parmesan, ricotta, and marinara and stir.
- Fill the zucchini shells with the mixture. Put mozzarella, parmesan, and pepperoni on top. Broil for 3-5 min, until it gets brown.
