Zucchini contains zero fat, and is high in water and fiber. It also contains significant amounts of vitamins B6, riboflavin, folate, C, and K, and minerals, like potassium and manganese. Zucchini can rightfully be called a superfood because it also contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients.
It can be noodled, zoodled, grated or lazagna’d but my favorite is to turn them into pizza snacks!

Zucchini bite pizza slice toppings can be pepperoni, Canadian bacon, crumbled bacon, ground beef or sausage, bell peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, olives, or even little wedges of pineapple.
Mozzarella is the standard go-to when it comes to pizza because of its creamy, mild flavor and its ability to hold everything together.

WHAT IS A SERVING SIZE?
One serving is 1/6 of the recipe, or 1/3 of a sliced zucchini. Enjoy Sandra!
Please , how many a serving , does anyone no ?
Please , how many , is a serving ?
This will depend on the size of your zucchini. If your zucchinis are 6 inches long, you’ll get 8 slices per serving.
I would recommend salting the zucchini for 30 minutes, at least, before assuming toppings. It will remove some of the water.
Could you go into detail… salting the zucchini ?
After you cut it. In slices you salt them?
Thank you!
They’re good but the water they make can make them too hot to eat right off and their too juicy. I added salt and pepper to season the zucchini.
Happy to hear you enjoyed these Nakitha!
Looks yummy. Does anyone know how many Weight Watcher points a serv8ng size would be?
Maybe another reader can help with that Ruth. Enjoy!
I tried these and they are very. I cooked mine in a air fryer with racks. I reduced the temp to 300 so the zucchini would have time to cook before the toppings. Delicious the next time I will use yellow squash.
Sounds great. I’m so happy to hear that you love these pizza bites!
Fantastic! My daughter in law shared this with me bc she tried it and she and my son loved it sooo I made it for a brunch and it was a hit! I used bacon bits and pepperoni pieces did not measure out but rather just layered:) broiling it after 5 minute cook time was a wonderful idea!!
Thank you!!!
Great idea Jo! So happy to hear that you love these pizza bites so much!
How do you keep the zucchini from getting mushy?
Be sure to cut the zucchini the right thickness, and keep an eye on them while they’re cooking. They cook fast, so if you’re concerned about them being too soft, bake a little less, then broil, and if you find they’re not soft enough, bake a little longer. Enjoy Julie!
