But this cheater’s vegetarian pizza with zucchini and bell peppers starts with store-bought seeded flatbread, which remains crisp underneath a pile of thinly shaved summery vegetables.

Ingredients:

1 large seeded flatbread or pizza crust

½ cup marinara sauce

1 zucchini, very thinly sliced

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
