Ingredients
  

1 pre-made pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

2 medium zucchini, thinly sliced into rounds

1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it inside the oven to heat as well. This will help achieve a crispy crust.

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once it's hot, introduce the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until you can smell its aromatic scent. Next, add the sliced zucchini and corn kernels. Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes for some extra kick (if you choose to use them). Sauté for approximately 5 minutes, or until the zucchini is just tender yet maintains a pleasant crispness. Remove from heat and set aside.

      Roll Out the Dough: On a clean, floured surface, begin rolling out the pizza dough to your preferred shape and thickness. A thin crust works wonderfully for this recipe. Once rolled, transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper, which will simplify moving it to the oven later.

        Assemble the Pizza: Start by sprinkling a light, even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the surface of the dough. Following this, evenly distribute the sautéed zucchini and corn mixture across the cheese. Crumble the feta cheese generously over the top, and finish with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for added richness.

          Bake the Pizza: Carefully take your pizza (with the parchment paper underneath) and slide it onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, keeping an eye on it, until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is bubbling nicely.

            Garnish and Serve: Once your pizza is baked to perfection, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for a few moments. If using, scatter fresh basil leaves on top for a burst of color and flavor. Slice the pizza into wedges and serve warm!
