Zucchini Pizza Bites

By ngaldi

I loved these zucchini pizza bites!! A perfect way to use up all the zucchini in your garden and satisfy your craving for pizza in a low carb way. I enjoyed these for lunch, but they also make a great snack. This recipe was modified slightly from Roni at Green Light Bites using ingredients I had on hand. I had leftover pizza sauce from the night before, which was simply crushed tomatoes (Tuttorosso) with sauteed garlic, salt and pepper, cooked for just under 5 minutes. You can add basil, pepperoni, sausage, whatever you like on your pizza. If you are wondering why there are only 3 pizzas in the photo, when the serving size is 4, I dropped one!

Ingredients

• 4 slices large zucchini 1/4" thick (or 1 medium zucchini cut on diagnal)
• Spray olive oil (I used my Misto)
• 2 tbsp pizza sauce
• 1/4 cup part skim mozzarella
• salt and pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Cut zucchini about 1/4 inch thick. Spray both side lightly with oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil or grill for about 2 minute on each side. Top with sauce and cheese and broil for an additional minute or two. (Careful not to burn cheese)
