Time 35m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ cup butter, melted
3 cloves crushed garlic
2 large zucchini, sliced crosswise into rounds
1 pound ground Italian sausage (such as Johnsonville®)
½ (14 ounce) jar pizza sauce
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine melted butter and garlic in a small bowl. Brush zucchini rounds with garlic butter and place on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve extra garlic butter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Turn, brush with additional garlic butter, and bake another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Top each zucchini round with a small spoonful of pizza sauce, a generous helping of cooked sausage, and a hearty sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Bake until cheese is melted and toppings are warm, about 5 minutes.
