Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Zucchini

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash the zucchini and cut off the ends. Slice the zucchini into ¼-inch thick rounds. Lay them out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
  3. Lightly salt the zucchini rounds and let them sit for 5 minutes to draw out excess moisture. After that, pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2: Add Pizza Sauce & Toppings

  1. Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce or marinara onto each zucchini slice, spreading it evenly.
  2. Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese over each slice.
  3. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried oregano on top for extra flavor.
  4. Add your favorite pizza toppings, such as pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms (optional).

Step 3: Bake the Zucchini Pizza Bites

  1. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the zucchini is tender.
  2. If you like a crispier texture, you can broil the zucchini pizza bites for 1-2 minutes at the end to get a golden, bubbly top.

Step 4: Garnish & Serve

  1. Remove the zucchini pizza bites from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two.
  2. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
  3. Serve warm and enjoy!
