For a bolder flavor, try using a garlic-infused pizza sauce. If you don't have pepperoni, sliced mushrooms, olives, or bell peppers make excellent toppings. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes adds a nice touch of heat. For easier cleanup, consider using a silicone baking mat instead of parchment paper. To prevent soggy zucchini, sprinkle a little salt on the zucchini slices before baking and let them sit for 10 minutes. Pat them dry with a paper towel before adding the toppings.

Feb 26, 2025I added a drizzle of balsamic glaze after baking, which added a touch of sweetness and acidity that complemented the flavors perfectly.
