Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • ½ pint cherry tomatoes from Local Fare Jax
  • 1 head fresh garlic
  • ½ fresh zucchini, thinly sliced, from Local Fare Jax
  • ½ cup pizza sauce or marinara
  • 1 small, personal-sized premade pizza crust (like Boboli)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

 

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425℉. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil and grease with cooking spray.
  2. Carefully cut off the top of the head of garlic with a serrated knife. Place the garlic on a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with olive oil. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Wrap the garlic in aluminum foil.
  3. Arrange the tomatoes and zucchini in a single layer on the baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the foil-wrapped garlic directly on the middle oven rack, and roast the garlic for 15 minutes. Then, add the tomatoes and zucchini to the oven and roast for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the garlic cloves are soft and the tomatoes and zucchini are browned.
  5. Increase oven temperature to 450℉.
  6. Use a fork to gently collapse the tomatoes, allowing some of the liquid to drain.
  7. Squeeze the garlic cloves out of the head and into a small dish.
  8. Evenly spread the pizza sauce over the pizza crust then sprinkle with cheese.
  9. Arrange the garlic, tomatoes, and zucchini over the cheese, as desired.
  10. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
  11. Switch the oven to broil on medium-low heat, if desired, to brown the cheese before removing from the oven.
  12. Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes then slice and enjoy.
