Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- Pinch of salt
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the zucchini into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
- Place the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the zucchini rounds for 10 minutes to dry them out slightly. This step prevents soggy bites.
- Remove the zucchini from the oven. Pat the tops dry with a paper towel.
- Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce onto each zucchini round.
- Top each slice with mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
- Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven. Bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve your Zucchini Pizza Bites warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a small slice of pepperoni or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes before baking.
- Make sure to pat the zucchini dry after the initial bake; this makes a big difference in texture.
- You can use your favorite low-sugar pizza sauce to keep the carbs down.
