Note
For best results, slice the zucchini thinly to ensure it cooks quickly and evenly with the other vegetables.
You can substitute the Boboli crust with a gluten-free pizza crust or a cauliflower crust for a lower-carb option.
Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, or cherry tomatoes based on your preference.
If you prefer a creamier texture, stir a tablespoon of cream cheese into the vegetable mixture before topping the crust.
