Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

Slice sausage in half lengthwise and remove casing. Cut sausage into 1/2-inch pieces.

02

Step
4 mins

Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. When oil shimmers, carefully add sausage pieces and stir, browning on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove sausage from the skillet, drain, and set aside.

03

Step
0 mins

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

04

Step
0 mins

Slice each zucchini in half lengthwise, and use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out pulp and seeds. Leave a border of at least 1/3-inch wide along the bottom and sides of each half.

05

Step
0 mins

Place seeded zucchini halves on the prepared pan, cut side up, and lightly sprinkle each zucchini half with salt to taste.

06

Step
0 mins

Stir together the sauce, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl. Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons sauce on each zucchini “boat,” evenly spreading to cover the cut surface. Sprinkle on shredded mozzarella in an even layer.

07

Step
0 mins

Evenly distribute quartered pepperoni pieces and browned Italian sausage pieces. Use a spoon to lightly press down into the cheese and sauce.

08

Step
0 mins

Evenly sprinkle on the assorted pizza toppings, and lightly sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

09

Step
25 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until mozzarella is bubbly and zucchini is fork tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.

For a vegetarian option, skip the sausage and add roasted vegetables like eggplant or bell peppers.
If you're short on time, use pre-cooked sausage.
A sprinkle of garlic powder adds a nice flavor boost to the sauce.
