Make these simple Zucchini Pizza Bites for a quick, low-carb pizza alternative that satisfies your cravings. They are perfect as an easy appetizer or a healthy snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce or marinara
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • Optional toppings: pepperoni slices, basil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash the zucchini and slice them into rounds about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. These form your mini pizza cups.
  3. Place the zucchini slices on a paper towel and sprinkle lightly with salt. Let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Gently pat them dry with more paper towels. This step is important for crispy bites.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the beaten egg, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  5. Place the dried zucchini slices on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of pizza sauce onto each zucchini slice.
  7. Top the sauce with a small amount of the cheese mixture. Add any optional toppings like a small piece of pepperoni now.
  8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the zucchini edges are lightly browned.
  9. Serve immediately for the best texture.

Notes

  • If you want a crispier base, you can bake the zucchini slices alone for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
  • For an Air Fryer Zucchini Bites version, cook at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 to 10 minutes, checking halfway through.
  • These are great for meal prep; store cooled bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
