Step 1

Preheat oven to 200°C. Place pumpkin and zucchini with half the olive oil and toss to combine. Heat a non-stick grill pan over high heat and cook pumpkin and zucchini, in batches, for 2-3 minutes each side, until lightly charred and tender.

Step 2

Heat the remaining oil and cook onion, garlic, mushrooms, and capsicum for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Place Lebanese breads on trays. Spread with pizza sauce, then top with grilled vegetables, tomatoes, and prosciutto. Sprinkle over feta and mozzarella.

Bake for 12–15 minutes until crisp and golden. Drizzle with barbecue sauce, add basil, and serve.
