Zucchini Pizza Bites Recipe

These zucchini pizza bites are a tasty way to eat your vegetables! These are low carb, easy to make, and a healthy way to satisfy your pizza cravings!

I’m pretty sure I’d eat pizza every day if I could. But since eating pizza every day probably wouldn’t feel that great, I’ve been finding other ways to get my pizza fix in a slightly healthier way. My latest pizza obsession? These super easy zucchini pizza bites!

Since these are only a few ingredients, the ingredients themselves are super important. A recipe is only as good as the ingredients!

The Best Ingredients for Zucchini Pizza Bites

• Choose a high-quality sauce. I like Rao’s tomato basil or Dave’s Gourmet. Look for a sauce without added sugar or preservatives.
• When picking out zucchini, look for a smaller squash, which will be less watery than really large ones. Look for firm skin without blemishes. For more tips on choosing the best zucchini, here are some tips from The Kitchn.
• I normally use finely shredded mozzarella because it’s easier to add just a pinch on top of each slice. Fresh mozzarella is delicious because it melts a little better, but it can be a bit messy to use. You pick!

How to Make Zucchini Pizza Bites

Slice the zucchini into `1/2″ thick rounds. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the zucchini in a single layer.

Add 2-3 teaspoons of sauce onto each zucchini round.

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese onto each round.

Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

I kept these bites simple but feel free to add your favorite toppings! The options are limitless.

Zucchini Pizza Bite Topping Ideas

• Try adding a little dollop of ricotta instead of mozzarella cheese!
• If you’re a meat eater, add a pepperoni slice on top of each pizza bite.
• Finely dice a red or yellow bell pepper and sprinkle it on top for extra veggies!

You might want to make a double batch of these pizza bites because I can guarantee that they’ll disappear quickly!
