Step 1

Adjust oven rack to top position (top and middle for 4 servings). Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; slice crosswise into 1/2 inch thick half-moons. Halve tomato lengthwise; cut crosswise into 1/4 inch thick half-moons. Peel garlic; place cloves in the center of a small piece of foil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cinch into a packet.

Step 2

Toss zucchini on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, 1 tsp Italian seasoning (2 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. Place garlic foil packet on same sheet. Roast on top rack until zucchini is browned and tender, 12-15 minutes. Meanwhile, place tomato in a medium bowl and toss with another 1 tsp Italian seasoning (2 tsp for 4), salt, and pepper. Set aside to marinate.

Step 3

Once zucchini is tender, transfer to bowl with tomato; toss to combine. Keeping garlic foil packet on sheet, carefully wipe off any excess oil. Place flatbreads on sheet, then return to top rack until flatbreads are lightly toasted and garlic is softened, 5-7 minutes. (for 4 servings, divide flatbreads between 2 sheets; roast on top and middle racks).

Step 4

Meanwhile, melt 1 Tbsp butter (2 Tbsp for 4 servings) in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp flour (2 Tbsp for 4), garlic powder, and remaining italian seasoning. Whisk constantly until lightly browned, 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium low and whisk in 1/2 cup water (1 cup for 4) and cream cheese until melted and combined. Season generously with salt and pepper. Simmer until thickened 1-2 minutes. (If sauce clumps, continue whisking and adding splashes of water until smooth.) Remove from heat.

Step 5

Once garlic is done, carefully transfer cloves to a cutting board and roughly chop. Heat broiler to high. Evenly top toasted flatbreads with white sauce, roasted garlic, and veggies. Sprinkle with mozzarella.

Step 6

Broil flatbreads until chewese melts, 1-2 minutes (for 4 servings, broil in batches). (Keep and eye on the flatbreads! The broiler is a Powerful tool, so pull the baking sheet out of the oven as soon as you see melty cheese!) Slice flatbreads into pieces, divide between plates, and sprinkle with chili flakes to taste.
