ingredients you’ll need

Zucchini: Choose medium to large zucchinis. You can use the yellow version but we recommend using the green zucchinis.
Marinara Sauce: any brand will do. Just go ahead and use whichever you have handy.
Mozzarella Cheese: Use shredded mozzarella cheese. If you like you can use low-fat cheese.
Pepperoni: Use mini kinds. We used turkey instead of pork but use any kind you prefer.
Additional toppings: Optional toppings can be fresh parsley, black sliced olive, or sliced jalapenos.

how to make these zucchini pizza bites

Prep the zucchini. Slice the zucchini 1 inch thick, and using a melon baller, scoop a bit from the inside, to create a small cup that will hold in the sauce.
Add toppings. Arrange the zucchini on a prepared baking sheet and top with marinara sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni slices.
Bake. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese melted and bubbly.

recipe notes and tips

If you don’t have marinara sauce, low carb pizza sauce or a tomato sauce works great too.
Mozzarella works great on these Zucchini Pizza Bites, but they can be made with any cheese.
To make larger rounds, slice zucchini diagonally.
Strands of pre-shredded mozzarella can be too long and messy, finely shred your own or roughly chop bagged shredded mozzarella to make sprinkling easier.
You can use a grill pan or a nonstick skillet.
Finely dice some red or yellow bell pepper and sprinkle it on top for more veggie goodness!
Feel free to top with your favorite pizza toppings, chopped up!
