I loved these zucchini pizza bites!! A perfect way to use up all the zucchini in your garden and satisfy your craving for pizza in a low carb way. I enjoyed these for lunch, but they also make a great snack. This recipe was modified slightly from Roni at Green Light Bites using ingredients I had on hand. I had leftover pizza sauce from the night before, which was simply crushed tomatoes (Tuttorosso) with sauteed garlic, salt and pepper, cooked for just under 5 minutes. You can add basil, pepperoni, sausage, whatever you like on your pizza. If you are wondering why there are only 3 pizzas in the photo, when the serving size is 4, I dropped one!

These sound yummy! I wonder if I can get my kiddo to eat them!?
ReplyDeleteI'm 14 and I just made them and they taste like real pizza! I recommend them for anybody of any age!
DeleteI love this idea! So simple, and using zucchini rounds as the crust is a great way to avoid traditional crust and add more veggies! Yum!
ReplyDeletethese look good, always looking for another way to use up zucchini this time of year! You mentioned the misto...can I say how much I LOVE my misto? it is the greatest invention ever! haha
ReplyDeleteI do this with eggplant and ricotta! And instead of tomato sauce I use tomato paste with fresh basil and oregano!
ReplyDeletewow. that sounds delicious!
Deleteyum!!!!
DeleteI am growing squash, eggplant and zucchini in my garden and have tons all ready to pick. This sounds like a delicious recipe. Thanks
ReplyDeleteWhat a super easy, fun idea! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteyummy! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteExcellent!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! I think these would be good on the grill. Now, I've got to see if my son will eat it. Will have to try it this week. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally going to have to try this. I've got zucchini coming out my ears!
ReplyDeleteCan you say, YUM?! :D
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea! I need to get some mozzarella. But I know what I'm having soon! :) And I just bought zucchini at the Farmers Market! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! I have those round 8-ball zucchinis, so I'm definitely going to have to try this one.
ReplyDeleteMe encanta! Me llevo la receta!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea! Wonder if eggplant slices would work too?
ReplyDeleteOMG these look so good! Great idea for a snack or appetizer
ReplyDeleteI'm sure eggplant would be delicious!
ReplyDeleteThese look so delicious! Just a question, is the nutritional info correct? I couldn't imagine it being that much, and then I noticed that it is the exact same info as the grape dessert below. Just wondering, thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat catch Jennifer, I just updated!
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious!! I am making these for sure!
ReplyDeleteI now know what to do with my zucchini. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I've been looking for healthier appetizer options and these sound delicious. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteFun idea!
ReplyDeleteSo I just ran up to the farm stand and picked up zucchini and eggplant and made this for lunch, it came out fantastic using both Veggies.. This could easily be my new obsession... Thanks Luv it! Kathy
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great Kathy! And so easy!
ReplyDeleteThis is a perfect use for the BIG garden zucchinis--smart thinking!!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! I'm going to try it this weekend.
ReplyDelete@CaSaundraLeigh Yes!! That's what I used!

ReplyDeleteGina! Made these last night, and LOVE 'EM! So easy and the whole family was loving them. I also shared the recipe with my WW meeting this morning! They are all very excited too! Thanks for giving us a way to get our pizza fix! :D
ReplyDeleteI made these for my supper Saturday night and they were AWESOME! I used fat free cheese and some marinara we had around.
ReplyDeleteI love this blog so much!
Celeste
Glad you all liked them! Even my husband approved to my surprise and he is not a fan of zucchini.
ReplyDeleteThese are so tasty! I made them tonight as a dinner with my 4 year old. We added turkey pepperoni and fresh tomatoes. Not only was it fun, both she and my 1 year old gobbled them up! Yum! LOVE your website! I will say I had a lot more than 4...
ReplyDeletei had 12 :)
ReplyDeleteThese were great. My 1 and 4 year old loved them. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteExcellent recipe! My 9 year old son and I made this one for lunch and we both LOVED it - DELICIOUS!! I've been doing WW for 5 months now and was beginning to get in a 'rut'...I discovered your blog - THANK YOU SO MUCH!! And it's given me some new motivation with all these fabulous recipes w/beautiful photography. You ROCK, Gina!!
ReplyDeleteI made these last night when a friend brought over a mutant zucchini!!! The first round was a little crunchy but very good still, the second round got a little overcooked (oops I forgot them in the broiler) and tasted even better!!!! Vive la zucchini!!!!
ReplyDeleteThese bad boys burn quickly if you don't keep an eye on them!
ReplyDeleteI am SO glad I found this site! It's so hard to cook on weight watchers without recipes. It's a pain in the butt to do the math for recipes I already have just to figure out which would be do-able and to figure out servings? Old family recipes have nothing about servings! haha
ReplyDeleteEither way I just made these for lunch and I love them! They took a little getting used to, but definitely curbed my craving for pizza and I plan on doing them again. Thank you :-). My Zucchinis were small to the other ingrediants yielded around 8 slices!
You're welcome Meredith! I know what you mean, It's harder for me since I'm coming up with new stuff all the time so I'm always crossing my fingers I stay within my points come dinnertime. These are a great snack!
ReplyDeleteI just found this recipe in my "recipe to try" folder and now I'm wondering if it was you who planted the idea in my mind to make pizza with zucchini for the crust. I'll add a link to this in my post.
ReplyDeleteZucchini look so delicious I'll have to try this recipe.
ReplyDeleteI just ate a whole zucchini, doing this! (it wasn't a huge one) It made a very tasty lunch. Who can stop at 4?! (unless its one of those zucchinis that are the size of a small blimp)
ReplyDeleteIt makes for a healthy lunch!
ReplyDeleteWe made this for dinner last night with a salad...so simple and delicious....a great quick dinner!
ReplyDeletecan i put these in the oven? dont have a grill or broiler
ReplyDeleteSure! A toaster oven would even work!
ReplyDeleteThese were AMAZING!!!!! Someone pointed me to your site and not only have I planned my entire weeks dinners, I had no idea what I was going to eat for lunch today. Saw this recipe, just happen to have all ingredients, made them and loved them! Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteGreat! I love these, such a great snack or lunch!
ReplyDeleteMy friend posted a link on facebook and im always excited about new recipes, especially ones with diet in mind!I made these pizzas last night and im IN LOVE!!! instead of pizza sauce i just used chopped tomato and it was just FABULOUS! im hooked on this snack and your blog! Thank You
ReplyDeleteAren't they great!!
ReplyDeleteDo you think marrow would work for these too. My courgettes are tiny. Lol. Sounds great though
ReplyDeleteHave you voted already?

Thanks from all of us!

i am amazed and so happy that my husband LOVES these!! when i was making them, he was like "so, there's no bread and no meat...it is NOT pizza!" and i told him just to trust me- i had made them for myself once before! he ate them and absolutely loved them!! thanks so much for your great recipes! it makes getting my husband to eat more veggies SO much easier!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that Aimee!
ReplyDeleteI made these zucchini bites today with my daughter. It was so fun and easy! I have to say..I can't stop eating them. They are delicious!!! Better than pizza!
ReplyDeleteI LOOOOOVE this recipe! You're awesome. I cannot wait to make these. GINA!!!! I love how your recipes always call for what I already have in my pantry. So accessible. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYummy snack! A great, fresh idea. I used farmers market zucchini and they tasted so fresh!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds wonderful..definitely going to try.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds simple enough, maybe I can trick myself into eating some healthy and easy to make?
ReplyDeleteJust made these for dinner used fat free cheese and no sugar sauce. !!!! best meal I have ever had on a diet and didnt feel guilty after THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!!
ReplyDeleteI tried making these a couple of nights ago. I had gotten the recipe from another site. That site said to cook for 7 minutes on each side (I used a broiler). Everything else was the same as your recipe. They smelled delish and looked delish, but the texture wasn't delish :-( . The skin was too rubbery and hard to bite through. Did I do something wrong? Was 7 minutes too long on each side?
ReplyDeletejust made these with eggplant because my local grocery store didn't have zucchini (weird) but so so good! added chicken for some more protein. thanks so much for this one!
ReplyDeleteI made these for a snack today and the turkey meatballs for dinner. Both were wonderful and the kids loved them. I did use eggplant since the grocery store just had tiny zucchini. I cooked it a little longer
ReplyDeleteThis looks AMAZING! I can't wait to make them. Thanks!
ReplyDeletethey were amazing! favorite recipe ever
ReplyDeleteThis recipe is amazing. This is the most healthiest pizza idea I ever seen.
ReplyDeleteThank You,
mytophealthyrecipes.com
Thank you Gina! I was wondering what to make for lunch, and for a moment I was tempted to buy pizza. But then I decided to check your webpage first :).
ReplyDeleteDo you think it would be good with cucumbers too?
ReplyDeleteI have eaten two whole zucchini today with this recipe. I'm scared to know what the nutritional value on that was but ... at least I worked out? SO GOOD.
ReplyDeleteThese were so good.....even the hubs approved,but I sliced up 2 zuch. and it made way to much,next time I'll just use one!!!!!Thanks for sharing this AMAZING recipe.....so easy to!
ReplyDeleteThis was great...even my 6 year old neices loved it.
ReplyDeletetry it with Portobello mushrooms! you have to cook the shrooms a little longer but is delicious!
ReplyDeleteYou did it again! Just had the leftovers for lunch and they're even good re-heated! My son stuffed 2 in his mouth at once, thinking I wasn't looking and my husband saw my leftovers and asked, "Why do YOU get to eat the leftovers?" LOL. Because I made them! LOL
ReplyDeleteI made another one of your delicious Weight Watchers friendly recipe. I love this one! Definitely a keeper! Highly recommend you try this one!!
ReplyDeleteGreat! Super simple and a great appetizer or side.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I posted a link to your recipe on my brand new blog: http://baconandpearls.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI mistakenly made these in the oven... way too soggy! Definitely trying these again on the grill or in the broiler. Just goes to show: I should ALWAYS read a recipe thoroughly! ;)
ReplyDeleteI made these under the broiler in my oven and they were a little soggy - any suggestions? They were still delicious!
ReplyDeletePerfect! :]
ReplyDeleteYUM! I just made this as a late night snack. Delicious, I will make this again.
