These bites-sized snacks have all the flavor of the cheesy, marinara pizza you love. Most importantly, they take place on a little bite of zucchini! Super nutritious, packed with flavor, and the perfect healthy appetizer, snack, or dinner.
I love taking a fairly well known “un-healthy” food and turning it into something down right nutritious and delicious. Take this alfredo pasta, or this buffalo chicken for instance. Pizza is no different. I mean, melted cheese on top of some red sauce and a circular piece of dough. Nothing super nutritious about that. However, marinara sauce on top of a slice of zucchini topped with mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, and parsley is a PIZZA PARTY IN YOUR MOUTH!!
How to make this recipe
This recipe is super simple and easy to whip up Simple layer on a little marinara on top of zucchini slices and top with mozzarella and pepperoni!
How to Serve
Pizza bites make the perfect party appetizer. Serve them up on a platter and I'll bet they're gone within the first 15 minutes. You can also make these zucchini pizza bites beforehand with a little prepping. I recommend slicing up your zucchini and tomatoes ahead of time. About 20 minutes before go, time, quickly pre-bake the zucchini circles, layer on the marinara, tomatoes, and cheese, and bake until melted. Quick, easy, and delicious!
