ZUCCHINI PIZZA BITES

[print-me do_not_print=”img”]INGREDIENTS:

• 2 large zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch thick rounds

• Nonstick cooking spray

• Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper

• 1/4 cup marinara sauce

• 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella

• 1/4 cup mini pepperoni pieces, optional

• Italian seasoning, for sprinkling

DIRECTIONS:

Spray both sides of zucchini rounds lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil or grill the zucchini rounds (I used a grill pan set to medium-high) for 2 minutes on each side. Place cooked zucchini rounds on a large lined baking sheet. Top with small amounts of sauce, cheese and pepperoni pieces, if desired. Broil for an additional 1-3 minutes, or until cheese is melted, careful not to burn. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and serve warm.
