Instructions

1. Wash and dry all produce. Preheat the broiler to high (or oven to 500°F). Slice zucchini into ½-inch-thick rounds. Pick oregano leaves from stems and roughly chop; discard stems.
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 prevent burning. Remove sheet from oven, then 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 and discard casings. Add sausage to the pan along with half the chopped 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 (about half the box). Sprinkle with salt, pepper and remaining Italian seasoning. Scatter mozzarella evenly over the sauce, 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. Sprinkle remaining fresh oregano over the pizzas to taste. Cut into slices and serve.

Recipe Tips

FAQ

Can I use a different type of sausage?

Yes, any fully cooked sausage like Italian turkey or pork sausage works well. Just remove the casings and crumble as directed.

What if I don't have a broiler?

You can roast the zucchini in a 450°F oven for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and lightly browned.

Can I make these pizzas ahead of time?

These are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. However, you can prep the toppings in advance and assemble just before baking.
