Instructions

1. Wash and dry all produce. Preheat broiler to high or oven to 500°F. Slice zucchini into ½-inch-thick rounds. Pick oregano leaves from stems; discard stems. Roughly chop leaves.
2. Place zucchini on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Season with salt, pepper and half the Italian seasoning. Broil until softened and browned, 5-7 minutes (watch closely to avoid burning). Remove sheet from broiler; reduce oven temperature to 450°F.
3. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Remove sausage from casings; discard casings. Add sausage to pan along with half the oregano, breaking meat into pieces with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, 4-6 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Place flatbreads on another lightly oiled baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Spread a thin layer of crushed tomatoes over each flatbread (use about half the box). Sprinkle with salt, pepper and remaining Italian seasoning. Scatter mozzarella evenly, then top with sausage and zucchini.
5. Bake flatbreads until golden brown at edges and cheese is melted, 4-6 minutes.
6. Scatter remaining oregano over flatbreads to taste. Cut into slices and serve.
