Pizza with Zucchini and Fresh Herbs is a perfect aromatic meal for any time of the year. This is a light vegetarian dish that uses fresh herbs. These herbs makes this plate fairly unique.
Heat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the zucchini into thin rounds strips. We recommend a mandolin slicer or a potato peeler to accomplish this, but a steady hand and a sharp knife will do the trick.
Place the sliced zucchini in a bowl, squeeze with fresh lemon juice, drizzle with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and fresh thyme. Make sure to rub the oil and herb mixture into the rounds.
Then place them onto a baking sheet and roast the zucchini in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, until soft.
Heat your oven to 500 °F. If using a pizza stone, allow the stone to heat in the oven for 30 minutes before baking on it.
Stretch out one of the pizza dough rounds onto a pizza peel dusted with flour, or onto a cookie sheet (if not using a pizza stone).
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza dough, and place the roasted zucchini on top of the cheese. Drizzle some Colavita Olive Oil on top.
Grate fresh parmesan cheese directly over the top and slide the prepared pizza into the oven.
Bake for about 8-10 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and thyme, a grind of black pepper, and a fresh squeeze of lemon juice, if desired.
