Zucchini, Feta & Sesame Pizza Topping
A fresh, minimal topping that lets a few good ingredients shine. The zucchini softens beautifully in the oven, the pears give a juicy touch the feta turns creamy and salty, and the sesame seeds add a subtle crunch. Walnuts also go very well with this.
Ingredients (for 1 large pizza)
1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced (rounds or ribbons) & 1/2 tight Pear cut into slices
80–100 g feta, crumbled
1 tbsp red or white onion, very thinly sliced
1 small garlic clove, finely minced or grated
1–2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp sesame seeds
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
Method
1. Prepare the zucchini
Slice the zucchini thinly. If it feels very watery, lightly sprinkle with salt and let it sit for 5–10 minutes, then gently pat dry with kitchen paper.
2. Season
In a bowl, toss the zucchini with olive oil, garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Assemble
Spread the zucchini evenly over your prepared pizza base. Scatter thin onion slices and Pear on top. Crumble the feta over everything.
4. Finish with sesame
Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly across the pizza for that subtle nutty crunch.
5. Bake
Bake according to your pizza dough instructions or in a preheated Oven at 230* for about 13-15 Minutes or until the crust is golden and the zucchini is tender with slightly caramelised edges.
Optional finishing touch:
A tiny drizzle of olive oil and an extra crack of black pepper just before serving.
