Zucchini Pizza Bites

Ingredients:

2 medium zucchinis, cut into rounds about 1/4 inch thick

Olive oil

Salt and pepper

Pizza sauce

Shredded mozzarella cheese

Your favorite pizza toppings (such as pepperoni, olives, bell peppers, etc.)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Place the zucchini rounds on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they’re evenly spaced and not overlapping.

Lightly brush each zucchini round with olive oil. This will help them cook and get a nice golden color.

Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the zucchini rounds to season them.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the zucchini rounds for about 5 minutes. This will slightly soften them, making them the perfect base for your pizza bites.

Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Now it’s time to add the toppings!

Start by adding a small spoonful of pizza sauce onto each zucchini round. Spread it out gently, leaving a small border around the edges.

Next, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce. The cheese will melt and create that classic pizza flavor.

Now it’s time to get creative with your toppings. Add your favorite pizza toppings to each zucchini round. You can use ingredients like pepperoni, sliced olives, diced bell peppers, or anything else you love on your pizza.

Once you’ve added the toppings, put the baking sheet back into the oven. Bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.

Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. The zucchini pizza bites should be golden around the edges and the cheese should be beautifully melted.

Let the zucchini pizza bites cool for a minute or two before serving. This allows them to set slightly and makes them easier to handle.
