The zucchini slices themselves are the perfect foundation for this culinary adventure, offering a subtle crunch and a hint of freshness that perfectly complements the rich flavors that await. They provide a guilt-free alternative to traditional pizza crust, adding a nutritious twist to this beloved classic.
Ingredients:
- • 2 large zucchinis, sliced into rounds about a quarter-inch thick
- • ½ cup of low-carb pizza or tomato sauce
- • 1 teaspoon of oregano
- • 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
- • ¼ cup of grated parmesan cheese
- • Your choice of pizza toppings, like pepperoni, olives, mushrooms, bell peppers, or onions
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to avoid sticking.
2. Wash the zucchinis and slice them into rounds. Arrange these rounds in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet.
3. Spread a bit of pizza sauce on each zucchini round, making sure to cover the surface. Sprinkle on some oregano for extra flavor.
4. Now, generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of each zucchini round. Add a touch of parmesan cheese for an additional flavor boost.
5. Time to customize! Place your chosen pizza toppings on each zucchini round. Get creative and tailor each bite to your liking.
6. Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the zucchini is tender.
7. Once done, take the zucchini pizza bites out of the oven and serve them hot. Enjoy them on their own or with a side of low-carb ranch dressing or marinara sauce for dipping.
