Zucchini Pizza with Garlic Confit and Goat Cheese

Garlic Confit

  • 12 cloves of fresh garlic, peeled

  • 1 ½ cups olive oil

Pizza

  • Your favourite store-bought or homemade pizza dough

  • Thinly sliced zucchini

  • Thinly sliced red onion

  • Goat cheese, crumbled

  • Salt

Make the garlic confit ahead of time by combining all ingredients in a small to medium saucepan and simmer on low heat, for approximately 30 minutes to an hour, until garlic is tender. You can store what you don’t use in the refrigerator for months to come and add amazing flavour to your favourite dishes.

To make the pizza, preheat your oven and pizza stone (or pizza oven if you have one) to 450°F. Stretch the pizza dough into a circle and place it on a floured pizza peel (make sure you can still move the dough around as you layer the pizza). Drizzle the dough with a loving amount of garlic confit oil and scatter garlic over the dough. Layer on prepared zucchini and onions and season with salt.
