Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with foil.

In a large bowl, toss zucchini, yellow squash, and red onion with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Spread vegetables in a single layer on the sheet pan and roast for 35 minutes, until tender and lightly caramelized.
-
Break the tofu into pieces and add to a food processor along with all remaining ricotta ingredients. Process until smooth and creamy.
-
Prepare the pre-made pizza crust or flatbread according to package directions.
-
Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the ricotta for garnish. Spread the remaining ricotta evenly over the crust and bake per package directions.

Roast vegetables until lightly caramelized for the best flavor.
Use super firm tofu to achieve a thick, creamy ricotta texture.
Reserve a little ricotta for garnish to add visual appeal.
Serve immediately while the flatbread is warm and crisp.
