Zucchini Pizza Bites
Delicious with green or yellow zucchini, with or without pepperoni (if you want to make Vegetarian). Makes 24 bites.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced in 1/2-inch slices (24 slices)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ¼ cup pizza sauce, I buy DeLallo Foods
- 24 pieces of pepperoni, optional, if you want to make these vegetarian
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 24 pieces
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- Fresh tomatoes
- Basil
Instructions
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; preheat the broiler to high.
- Trim the ends from the zucchini, and slice each zucchini crosswise into 24 1/2- to 3/4-inch rounds.
- Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini and cook on one side only, 4-5 minutes, until browned.
- Transfer the zucchini to the baking sheet, browned side up. Top each round with 1/2 teaspoon of the pizza sauce, a pepperoni slice, and a piece of mozzarella.
- Broil the zucchini until the cheese is melted, 4-5 minutes (watch the pizza bites closely, as broiler intensities vary).
- Top with a slice of fresh tomato and chopped basil. Salt if needed. Serve!
