Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 large zucchini about 1 lb total, cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds
- 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- 1 tsp dried oregano divided
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder divided
- 1/4 tsp salt divided
- 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly ground, divided
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese about 2 oz, preferably Greek
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh basil chopped, for garnish
Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to maintain texture. Make-Ahead: Prepare the seasoned zucchini and topping mixture up to a day ahead; store separately in the fridge and assemble just before baking. Variations: Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for heat, or substitute goat cheese for feta. For a more pizza-like experience, add a small dollop of no-sugar-added marinara sauce under the feta. Serving Suggestions: Serve warm as an appetizer with a side of tzatziki sauce for dipping.
