ULTIMATE SPINACH PIZZA

Steps:

• Follow the Best Pizza Dough or Thin Crust Dough recipe to prepare the dough. (This takes about 15 minutes to make and 45 minutes to rest.)
• Place a pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 500°F. OR preheat your pizza oven (here's the pizza oven we use).
• Run the spinach under warm water in a strainer, then squeeze out as much water as possible so that it has a dry, crumbly texture. Mix it in a bowl with 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt, the garlic powder and the oregano.
• Mince the garlic. In a small bowl, mix the ricotta with the kosher salt, fresh ground pepper and minced garlic. Thinly slice the red onion, and dice the roasted red pepper.
• When the oven is ready, dust a pizza peel with cornmeal or semolina flour. (If you don't have a pizza peel, you can use a rimless baking sheet or the back of a rimmed baking sheet. But a pizza peel is well worth the investment!) Stretch the dough into a circle; see How to Stretch Pizza Dough for instructions. Then gently place the dough onto the pizza peel.
• Spread the seasoned ricotta onto the dough. Top with the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, spinach, red onion, and red pepper.
• Use the pizza peel to carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone. Bake the pizza until the cheese and crust are nicely browned, about 5 to 7 minutes in the oven (or 1 minute in a pizza oven). Slice into pieces and serve immediately.

ZUCCHINI PIZZA BOATS

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet or 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
• Halve each zucchini lengthwise. With a small spoon or melon baller, gently scrape out the center zucchini flesh and pulp, leaving a border of about 1/3 inch on all sides. Arrange the zucchini shells on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the insides of the zucchini with salt.
• Spoon the pizza sauce into each shell, dividing it evenly. You may need a little more or less, depending upon the size of your zucchini. Put a generous amount, but don't feel like you need to fill it all the way to the very top.
• Sprinkle the mozzarella over the top, then evenly sprinkle with Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes (if using). Scatter on the pepperoni and any other desired toppings. Last, sprinkle with Parmesan.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the cheese is hot and bubbly and the zucchini is tender. If desired, switch the oven to broil and cook the zucchini for 2 to 3 additional minutes, until the cheese is lightly browned. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh basil. Serve immediately.

ZUCCHINI PIZZA BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Slice the zucchini 1/4-inch thick; you should get about 24 slices. Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Top each slice with 1/2 teaspoon marinara sauce and 1 teaspoon mozzarella.
• Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 8 minutes.

ZUCCHINI PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat enough olive oil to coat the bottom of a large skillet over medium heat; arrange zucchini slices in the hot oil. Sprinkle zucchini slices with red pepper flakes, garlic salt, and onion salt. Fry until zucchini slices are slightly softened, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Sprinkle each slice with Romano cheese and spoonful of tomato sauce; cook until cheese just begins to melt, 2 to 3 minutes. Top tomato sauce layer with Mexican cheese blend; cover skillet and cook until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.

BAKED SPINACH AND ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-14-by-2-inch oval baking dish, or six individual cast-iron pans, with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the scallions and zucchini and saute for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for one minute. Lightly press most of the water out of the spinach and add it to the pan. Add the rice, basil, parsley, nutmeg, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and toss well. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, the -remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter, and the 1/4 cup Parmesan. Pour the mixture over the spinach and zucchini and smooth the top. Sprinkle with some extra Parmesan and the Gruyere. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

STUFFED ZUCCHINI BITES WITH SPINACH AND RICOTTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Using a melon baller, carefully scoop out a little spot in the center of each zucchini round for the filling to sit, making sure to leave about a 1/2-inch "floor" at the bottom. Put the scooped zucchini centers on a cutting board, season with salt and pepper and chop.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the scallions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and chopped zucchini centers and cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms release their liquid and the zucchini start to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain off any excess liquid. Stir in the ricotta and season with salt and pepper.
• Stuff the zucchini cups with the filling and bake on a rimmed baking sheet until the zucchini is cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.

ZUCCHINI AND SPINACH PIZZA RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Was and slice the zucchini into thin slices. Prepare a skillet with oil and dredge the zucchini and fry. Set aside. Chop the spinach. Lay out dough in pizza pan. Simmer the cooking crème (if using) for three minutes on medium heat and cover dough. Add zucchini, then spinach, then cheeses and top with feta. Cook at 450 degrees for 17-20 minutes.

SPINACH ZUCCHINI PIZZA

Steps:

• Fry the bacon with the balsamic vinegar (don't add it immediately at the beginning) until browned and crisp (but not burned). Use a relatively small pan so the bacon only just fits on the bottom of the pan and will "cook" a little in its own juices (keeps it from burning too quickly).
• Preheat the oven to about 200C and divide the tomato pesto and tomato paste over the pizza crusts, spreading it out as evenly as possible (keeping clear of the edge).
• Make sure the zucchini is thinly sliced (about 1mm thick) and the spinach drained/squeezed (it may feel slightly moist, but definitely not dripping). If you use fresh spinach you may want to cut or tear the spinach in slightly smaller pieces, but it's not absolutely necessary (the spinach will shrink anyway). Also slice the garlic. (This step can be performed while the bacon is cooking, as it can take quite a bit of time and can be finished before the rest without problems.).
• Put a relatively large (heavy) pan over high heat, with some oil (NO olive oil!) and a generous amount of salt. Put in the zucchini slices (you should hear a hiss immediately, otherwise the pan wasn't hot enough) and stir them regularly (turning them over) until they start to brown. If you don't have a large enough pan to have most of the slices on the bottom all the time, cook the vegetables in batches.
• Once the zucchini starts to brown, add the garlic and fry it for a few seconds (it should only just start to brown) and add the ,thawed and thoroughly drained/squeezed, spinach. Add the cumin and other spices/herbs (I added about a teaspoon of cumin, but you can add more or less depending on taste, try it). Also add the bacon and stir regularly until well mixed.
• Divide the vegetables over the pizza's and spread them out evenly (should form a layer slightly less than 1cm thick). Now sprinkle them with the shredded cheese until you're satisfied with the amount of cheese and put them in the oven for about 20 minutes.
• I had them in the oven for about 30 minutes, but I had them on a lower setting for a while and they came out slightly more browned than ideal, though not burned (so don't worry too much about putting them in the oven too long). Note: While in the oven it can be hard to see how well done the pizza's are, the spinach just gets a little darker, so you have to rely on the cheese and the pizza crust.

ZUCCHINI CRUST PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. In a large bowl, combine first 4 ingredients; stir in 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Transfer to a 12-in. pizza pan coated generously with cooking spray; spread to an 11-in. circle., Bake until golden brown, 13-16 minutes. Reduce oven setting to 400°. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese; top with tomatoes, onion, pepper, herbs and remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake until edges are golden brown and cheese is melted, 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh basil, if desired.

MINI ZUCCHINI PIZZAS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Arrange zucchini in a single layer on a greased baking sheet. Broil 3-4 in. from heat just until crisp-tender, 1-2 minutes per side., Sprinkle zucchini with salt and pepper; top with sauce, cheese and pepperoni. Broil until cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with basil.
