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. (Keep an eye on it-zucchini can burn easily.) Remove sheet from broiler, then 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 along with half the oregano, breaking up meat into pieces. Cook until browned and no longer pink, 4-6 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
4. Place flatbreads on another lightly oiled baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Spread a thin layer of crushed tomatoes across the tops (use about half the box). Sprinkle with salt, pepper and remaining Italian seasoning. Scatter evenly with mozzarella, then top with cooked sausage and broiled zucchini.
5. Bake flatbreads until golden brown at the edges and cheese is melted, 4-6 minutes.
6. Scatter remaining oregano over flatbreads to taste, then cut into slices and serve.
