Instructions:

Tips:
- To keep your zucchini from becoming too soggy, pat it dry with paper towels after slicing.
- Feel free to add or substitute your favorite toppings, like olives, onions, or different types of cheese.
- If you're looking for a crispier texture, pre-cook the zucchini slices in the microwave for about 2 minutes before adding toppings.
- For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle some Italian seasoning or fresh basil on top before microwaving.
