Notes
SAUCE: You'll need about ½ cup total sauce for 2 large zucchini. I used a combination of Marinara and Pesto.
TOPPINGS: I used sliced olive, chopped roasted red peppers, thinly sliced mini yellow peppers and fresh herbs. Other good choices include halved grape tomatoes, caramelized onions, sliced jalapenos, or other veggies you prefer.
VEGAN PARMESAN: recipe will make about ¼ cup vegan parmesan. I usually make 2-3 times the recipe to have extra. It will keep good in the fridge for up to a month.
