Ingredients
- 2 small zucchini
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup tomato sauce
- ¼ cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 tbsp freshly sliced basil
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 450.
- Wash the zucchini and slice off the stem and the bottom and discard. Slice the rest in 1/4 inch thick rounds. Try to keep them all the same size so they all cook evenly, at the same time.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and transfer the zucchini slices onto it. Lightly brush each slice with olive oil, season with a little salt and pepper, flip them over and brush and season the other side also.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven for 10 minutes, flipping the zucchini rounds at the halfway point.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and set it to broil. Meanwhile, spoon tomato sauce onto each of the zucchini slices and sprinkle each piece with the grated mozzarella cheese. Add the additional toppings if using.
- Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2-4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and beginning to brown.
- Remove from the oven and top with freshly chopped basil. Serve warm.
