Ingredients

2 large zucchinis
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
1 cup of marinara sauce
1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
Your favorite pizza toppings (such as sliced tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms)
Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

Preparing the Zucchini Base
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).Wash and dry the zucchinis. Cut off the ends and slice them lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.Place the zucchini slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush both sides of the slices with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Roasting the Zucchini
Roast the zucchini slices in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes. This will soften the zucchini and remove excess moisture, ensuring your pizza bake isn't watery.Once roasted, remove the zucchini slices from the oven and pat them dry with a paper towel to absorb any remaining moisture.
Assembling the Pizza Bake
In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce as the base.Arrange the roasted zucchini slices on top of the sauce, slightly overlapping each other to create the pizza crust.Spread another layer of marinara sauce over the zucchini slices.Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. The cheese will melt and bind the toppings together.
Adding Toppings
Get creative with your choice of pizza toppings. Arrange sliced tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or any other favorites over the cheese layer.Sprinkle a touch of salt and pepper over the toppings for an extra burst of flavor.
Final Bake
Place the assembled Zucchini Pizza Bake in the oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the zucchini are golden brown.Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before garnishing with fresh basil leaves.
Serving and Enjoying
Carefully slice the Zucchini Pizza Bake into servings, just like you would with a regular pizza.Serve the slices warm, and savor the delicious medley of flavors and textures.
