Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

* 2 large straight green zucchinis sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
* 1/3 cup low-carb pizza sauce or sugar-free marinara
* 1 cup mozzarella cheese freshly shredded
* 1/4 cup mini beef or turkey pepperoni or regular slices cut into quarters
* 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
* 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
* 1/2 tsp garlic powder
* Sea salt to taste
* Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Fresh chopped parsley fresh basil leaves, grated Parmesan cheese, optional red pepper flakes

Method

Prep Oven & Pan:

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or brush lightly with olive oil.

Season Zucchini:

Arrange zucchini rounds in a single layer on the pan. Drizzle/brush both sides with olive oil, then season tops with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Assemble:

Spoon 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of low-carb pizza sauce onto each round. Top evenly with shredded mozzarella and press 2-3 mini pepperoni pieces into the cheese.

Bake:

Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes until zucchini is tender-crisp and cheese is fully melted.

Broil:

Switch oven to broil for 1-2 minutes until cheese is bubbling with golden-brown spots and pepperoni edges are crisp.

Finish:

Garnish immediately with chopped parsley, basil leaves, and grated Parmesan cheese. Serve warm.

Notes

To prevent soggy zucchini, slice thick (1/2 inch) and do not overload with sauce. Serve fresh from the oven.
