Balsamic Roasted Zucchini with Feta

We’ve got a great way to use up your garden zucchini!

Zucchini softens while roasting and soaks up the flavor of balsamic vinegar.

The sweet flavors are complemented by salty feta cheese sprinkled on just before serving.

Sheet-Pan Zucchini Pizza

Fresh zucchini and lemon slices top this sheet-pan pizza.

Whole lemon slices add bright flavor from the skin and rind as well as acidity from the flesh.

Feta and fresh mozzarella cheese add a savory note and add balance to the rest of the flavors.

Smashing the zucchini increases the surface area that absorbs the flavors of cilantro, cotija cheese and lime beautifully.

If you might’t find cotija cheese, feta cheese is a good substitute.
