Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the zucchini rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Brush both sides of the zucchini rounds with a thin layer of olive oil. This will help them cook evenly and prevent sticking.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper on top of each zucchini round.
- Bake the zucchini rounds in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes. This will help remove some of the moisture from the zucchini so they don’t become too watery when you add the toppings.
- Remove the zucchini rounds from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Spread a small spoonful of pizza sauce on each zucchini round.
- Sprinkle a bit of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
- Add your desired pizza toppings on each zucchini round. You can get creative here and add whatever toppings you enjoy.
- Sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano or Italian seasoning on top of the toppings for extra flavor.
- Place the topped zucchini rounds back in the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once the cheese is melted and the zucchini is cooked to your desired level of crispness, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Allow the Zucchini Pizza Bites to cool for a minute or two before serving, as they can be quite hot.
- Serve the Zucchini Pizza Bites as an appetizer, snack, or party treat!
