Crispy Zucchini Pizza Bites
Crispy Zucchini Pizza Bites are roasted zucchini rounds topped with marinara, mozzarella, and favorite miniature pizza toppings.
Ingredients
- 2 large zucchini
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/4 cup mini pepperoni or diced bell pepper
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C), line a baking sheet, and slice the zucchini into rounds about 1/2 inch thick.
- Arrange the rounds in a single layer, brush lightly with olive oil, and roast for 5 minutes to remove some surface moisture.
- Carefully turn each zucchini round and spoon a small amount of marinara sauce onto the center.
- Sprinkle mozzarella over the sauce, keeping most of the cheese within the edges so it does not melt completely onto the pan.
- Add mini pepperoni, diced bell pepper, or another small topping and sprinkle lightly with Italian seasoning.
- Return the tray to the oven and bake for another 7–9 minutes until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is bubbling.
- Cool for 2–3 minutes before transferring the bites to a serving plate and enjoy them while still warm.
