Zucchini Pizza Bites

Zucchini Pizza Bites Recipe

Healthy tiny pizza! And another way to use up the oceans of zucchini you are drowning in. A simple 15 minute recipe that can be a snack, appetizer, or hey, even dinner if you’re like me.

Yield: Makes 30

Ingredients:

• 1 medium or large zucchini
• about 1/3 cup pizza sauce
• 1 cup mozzarella, grated small
• 12-15 slices pepperoni, chopped (or use mini pepperoni)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your broiler.
2. Use a sharp knife to cut the zucchini into rounds. You want them to be about 1/8 inch thick, and definitely no more than 1/4 inch (see photos). The thicker they are, the crisper the zucchini will be.
3. Grease a baking sheet with olive oil. Spread out the zucchini on the sheet.
4. Top each round with 1/2 or 1 teaspoon pizza sauce. Don’t spread it around or it will just bake off.
5. Top with shredded mozzarella. If you are using pre-shredded mozz, use a knife to chop it a little smaller.
6. Top with chopped pepperoni.
7. Move your oven rack to the highest position. Broil the zucchini for 3-6 minutes, or until golden on top.
8. Don’t walk away! Eat hot!
