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 and roughly chop leaves.
2. Place zucchini on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Season with salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Broil until softened and browned, 5-7 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning. Remove sheet and adjust 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 with half the oregano, breaking meat into pieces. 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. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and remaining 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Scatter mozzarella evenly, then top with sausage and zucchini.
5. Bake pizzas until flatbreads are golden brown at edges and cheese is melted, 4-6 minutes.
6. Scatter remaining oregano over pizzas to taste. Cut into slices and serve.

FAQ

Can I use a different type of sausage?

Yes, any Italian-style sausage (pork, turkey or plant-based) works well. Just remove the casings and cook as directed.

What if I don't have a broiler?

You can roast the zucchini at 450°F for about 10-12 minutes until tender and lightly browned.

Can I make these pizzas ahead of time?

They are best enjoyed fresh, but you can prep the toppings in advance. Assemble and bake just before serving.
