  • Large zucchini
  • African Tomato Sauce
  • Shredded mozzarella or cheese alternative
  • Mini pepperoni or protein of choice
  • Fresh herbs (basil, oregano)
  • African seasonings
  • Olive oil or vegetable oil
Alternative Toppings
  • Vegetarian: Sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, olives
  • Meat Lovers: Cooked sausage, bacon, ham, ground beef
  • Seafood: Shrimp, crab meat, smoked salmon
  • Cheese Options: Cheddar, feta, goat cheese, Parmesan
  • Herbs: Oregano, thyme, parsley, rosemary

Directions

1 Preheat and Prepare

Preheat broiler. Cut zucchini diagonally into ¼-inch slices. Arrange in single layer on greased baking sheet.

2 Broil Zucchini

Broil zucchini until crisp-tender, 1-2 minutes per side. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

3 Season

Brush zucchini slices lightly with oil and sprinkle with African seasonings.

4 Add Toppings

Top each zucchini slice with African Tomato Sauce, cheese, and your choice of toppings.

5 Final Broil

Broil again until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 1 minute. Watch closely to prevent burning.

6 Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with fresh herbs and serve immediately while hot.

Pro Tip: For crispier zucchini "crust," salt the slices and let them sit for 10 minutes before patting dry. This removes excess moisture.
