Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Lightly oil a baking sheet (or two for 4 servings). Wash and dry produce. Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise, then slice crosswise into half-moons. Halve grape tomatoes. Peel and mince garlic. Zest and quarter the lemon.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and softened, 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- While zucchini cooks, in a small bowl, combine tomatoes, garlic and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- In another small bowl, combine ricotta, half the lemon zest, ½ tsp olive oil (1 tsp for 4 servings) and lemon juice to taste. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet(s). Spread evenly with lemon ricotta. Top with zucchini and tomatoes, cut sides up. Bake on top rack (top and middle racks for 4 servings) until flatbreads are golden brown, 10-12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pick parsley leaves from stems and roughly chop. When flatbreads are done, garnish with parsley, remaining lemon zest and chili flakes to taste. Drizzle with honey. Slice into pieces and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispiness, preheat the baking sheet in the oven before placing the flatbreads on it.
If you prefer a milder heat, reduce the chili flakes or omit them entirely.
Feel free to substitute other summer squash for the zucchini.
