Ingredients

• 1 large zucchini
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup spinach leaves
• 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Slice the large zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices. These will serve as the 'crust' for your pizza slices.

Step 3

Place the zucchini slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Step 4

Brush the zucchini slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and then season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Bake the zucchini slices in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes to soften slightly and remove excess moisture.

Step 6

While the zucchini is baking, prepare the toppings. In a pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add cherry tomatoes, spinach leaves, red bell pepper, and red onion. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 7

Remove the zucchini slices from the oven. Sprinkle each slice evenly with mozzarella cheese.

Step 8

Distribute the sautéed vegetable mixture evenly over the zucchini slices.

Step 9

Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top of the vegetables.

Step 10

Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm as a wholesome low-carb garden pizza slice with a side salad if desired.
