Recipe FAQs

You don’t need to cook zucchini before you add it to your pizza, just make sure you slice it thinly so that it cooks all the way through. As pizza isn’t in the oven for very long, slicing it into thin ribbons is the best way to ensure your zucchini pizza topping is fully cooked.

There are plenty of vegetables that go well on pizza. Some of our favourites include things such as capsicum, mushrooms, zucchini, artichoke, fresh or sundried tomatoes, eggplant, and spinach. You can also finish your pizza with fresh herbs like basil or even crushed chilli flakes.

Cheese on a pizza should always go on after the base sauce, but before the other toppings. Then add your toppings like vegetables and meats, before finishing off with your garnishes like basil. This is because the toppings need extra heat to cook, so adding them last will help avoid a soggy pizza! You can also add a sprinkle of cheese on top if you prefer the melted, cheesy goodness.
