Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 zucchini
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste or pizza sauce, marinara sauce
  • 1/4 cup cheese e.g. mozzarella, cheddar

Extra toppings (optional)

  • herbs and spices (parsley, basil, oregano, etc)
  • vegetables (olives, mushrooms, peppers, etc)
  • protein (ham, pepperoni, tofu, etc)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF/200ºC. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Cut the zucchini into slices about 1/4-inch thick. Use a mandoline for even sizes.
    Shred the cheese if needed.
  • Arrange the slices on the baking tray, leaving about 1/2 inch (1 cm) between them. Add tomato paste to each slice and spread it slightly without reaching the edge. Sprinkle some cheese.
    If using other toppings, add them now.
  • Bake in the oven at 400ºF/200ºC for 10 minutes until the cheese is melty and bubbly. Serve warm!

Notes

If you have leftovers, they can be stored covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. To reheat, place them back in the oven or under the broiler until warmed.
Zucchini pizza bites can't be frozen; the zucchini gets watery and mushy when thawed.
