- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the zucchinis and slice them lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick planks. Try to make the slices as even as possible for consistent cooking.
Place the zucchini slices on the prepared baking sheet. Brush them lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Bake the zucchini slices in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to partially cook and soften them. Remove from the oven.
Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each zucchini slice.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the zucchini slices.
Cut the cherry tomatoes into halves and distribute them over the zucchini pizzas.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious vegetarian zucchini pizzas!
