Puff Pastry Pizza

1 zucchini, sliced very thin

salt

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

1/2 cup grated mozzarella

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

4 oz. goat cheese

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

freshly grated zest of 1 lemon

chopped fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, for topping

Preheat the oven to 425.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the zucchini on a cutting board and sprinkle it with salt.  Let sit for 5 minutes, then pat dry with a paper towel.  This removes excess moisture.

Place the puff pastry on the prepared baking sheet.  Cover with the mozzarella, leaving a one inch border.  Top with the zucchini and sprinkle with a little more salt, the black pepper, and the garlic powder.  Crumble the goat cheese over the zucchini and sprinkle on the red pepper flakes and the lemon zest.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden and crisp.  Sprinkle with the fresh herbs before slicing and serving.
