zucchini pizza topped with more zucchini…that’s basically what this is and I am SO in love!
I found all this squash in the recipe below from the NC State Farmer’s Market so if you see something and you’re like Amy, what the heck is that? Sorry, the Farmer’s Market made me do it! ;)

So another word for the round squash that I used here is also known as “8 ball” squash…how cool? I love the Farmer’s Market. It always forces me to try new things! And the tiger zucchini is just so good! It’s got these really cool, funky stripes and it’s got a good crunch to it. Yeah so this might go without saying buttttt – all this squash was about to go bad at the same time! So it was the perfect opportunity to create something with what I had on hand! (the reason there is squash on top of squash…hehe)

makes 2-3 servings

1 tiger zucchini, sliced in thick rounds
1 round yellow squash, sliced into 3/4 inch thick rounds
1 round green squash, sliced into 3/4 inch thick rounds
1/2 cup EVOO
garlic salt, to taste
ground pepper, to taste
grated Parmesan cheese, to taste
1/2 cup onion, diced
4 oz pepperoni (I used turkey pepperoni and it was delish!)
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 large tomato, diced
3 rainbow peppers (any colors you have on hand will do)
balsamic glaze (TRADER JOE’S HAS THE BEST!)
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

1. Using a brush, coat all zucchini rounds and peppers with EVOO. Grill for a few minutes on each side or until grill marks form. Season with garlic salt, pepper and grated Parmesan cheese
2. Small dice the tiger zucchini and peppers after they have been grilled.
3. Assemble the large zucchini rounds with chopped tiger zucchini, mozzarella cheese, chopped onion, tomato, dollop of ricotta, peppers, pepperoni.
4. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and top with fresh basil

Just a head’s up, this is super messy. Eat it with your hands or with a fork, no judgement here! Remember to always use what you have on hand! If you always stay within your comfort zone of cooking, you’ll never truly experience FOOD. I know that sounds cheesy, but it’s true. The only reason you’re reading this recipe and my blog right now is because that’s how I cook almost every day. Use whatever you have on hand and let your mind create! I promise you won’t regret it. Happy cooking!
