If this recipe could talk, it would say “I’m so fancy!” Toasty flatbreads are gussied up with fluffy lemony ricotta cheese, and bites of tomato and zucchini bursting with juicy goodness. Oh, and we have to talk about the bling (aka garnish) on top: parsley, chili flakes, and honey add savory-sweet contrast that makes each bite light up. You’ve just hit dinnertime gold.

Use pan used for chicken or sausage here
• While zucchini cooks, in a small bowl, combine tomatoes, garlic, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a second small bowl, combine ricotta, half the lemon zest, ½ tsp olive oil (1 tsp for 4 servings), and lemon juice to taste. Season with salt and pepper.
• Carefully place flatbreads on prepared sheet (divide between both prepared sheets for 4 servings). Evenly spread flatbreads with lemon ricotta. Top with zucchini and tomatoes, cut sides up. • Bake on top rack (top and middle racks for 4) until flatbreads are golden brown, 10-12 minutes.
Top flatbreads with chicken or sausage along with veggies.
• Meanwhile, pick parsley leaves from stems; roughly chop leaves. • Once flatbreads are done, garnish with parsley, remaining lemon zest, and chili flakes to taste. Drizzle with honey, then slice into pieces. • Divide between plates and serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
