Are giant zucchinis good to eat?

Yes, giant zucchinis are good to eat. They can be bitter, so I recommend eating them cooked and not raw. This zucchini bites recipe is a perfect way to use them up!

How to Use Giant Zucchini

There are so many ways to use giant zucchinis. Make zucchini tots, fritters, soup, or zoodles. Grill them or stuff them. You can even grate oversized zucchinis and add them to baked goods, like Banana Zucchini Cake, Chocolate Zucchini Bread, or Pineapple Zucchini Cupcakes.

Low Carb Pizza Bites, Just three Ingredients:

These pizza bites couldn’t be simpler. There are only three main ingredients, plus olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  • Oversized zucchini
  • Marinara (jarred or homemade sauce)
  • Shredded mozzarella

How to Make Zucchini Pizza Bites

  1. Prep: Cut the zucchini into ¼-inch thick slices. My zucchini was very large, so if yours is smaller, cut it at an angle to get big ovals.
  2. Season: Spray both sides of the zucchini rounds with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook: Broil or grill the zucchini for about two minutes on each side.
  4. Top: Spoon marinara and mozzarella over the slices and broil for another minute. They can burn quickly, so keep an eye on them.

Variations

  • Zucchini Subs: Swap oversized zucchini with yellow squash or eggplant.
  • Sauce: Use pesto instead of marinara.
  • Meat: Add Italian sausage or pepperoni to these pizza bites.
  • Veggies: Add chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, or onions.
  • Herbs: Top with fresh or dried basil, oregano, or thyme.
  • Spice: Sprinkle the pizza bites with crushed red pepper.

What to Serve with Zucchini Pizza Bites

These zucchini pizza bites are great for a snack or appetizer, but if you’re eating them as part of a meal, here are a few serving suggestions:
