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
- 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.
- Season: Spray both sides of the zucchini rounds with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook: Broil or grill the zucchini for about two minutes on each side.
- 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.
