Servings 4 people
Ingredients
- 1½ lb. zucchini about 3 medium
- 1 lb. pizza dough
- 2 cups fresh ricotta
- 1 large red onion
- ½ cup mint leaves
- 6 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
- ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan about 1¼ oz.
- 1 lemon
- 1 small clove garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Kosher salt
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
-
Set your dough out until it reaches room temperature-- for about 30 minutes or so.
-
In the meanwhile, prepare your vegetables. Trim the ends of your zucchini and slice into thin rounds.
-
Thinly slice your onion crosswise into rings.
-
Toss zucchini, oil, onion, and salt on a baking sheet. Spread evenly so they roast instead of steaming. Cook 25-30 minutes or until browned and tender.
-
Drizzle dough with oil and place on a baking sheet. Use your hands to coat in the oil and spread out to the corners of the pan.
-
Top with more oil and sprinkle salt over the dough.
-
Bake for 7-9 minutes or until cooked through, brown, and crispy.
-
Mix ricotta, oil, Parmesan, and salt in a bowl. Zest 1/2 lemon and grate garlic into the mixture. Stir well to combine.
-
Spread ricotta all over the dough in an even, generous layer. Arrange roasted veggies on the top.
-
Bake for 6-8 minutes or until the ricotta melts and bubbles around the veggies.
-
Zest the other lemon half over the pizza, top with mint leaves, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, and more olive oil.

Serve and enjoy! 😀
