Zucchini Pizza Bites

Sliced Zucchini Pizza Bites with Cheese

We have been trying to eat healthier snacks in our house. We know we need to eat more fruits and vegetables, and we are trying to find ways that even my picky eaters will eat them.  Recently my oldest said she wanted to try zucchini pizza bites.  I picked up some zucchini at the store, and this is the recipe we came up with. 


I sliced the zucchini into thin slices and laid it on a cookie sheet.  One small zucchini made 18 slices.  I then spooned on a little bit of sauce onto each slice.  You can use pizza sauce, but I used regular spaghetti sauce since that is what I had on hand. 


On each of the slices, I sprinkled on a little bit of Mozzarella cheese, some oregano, and a touch of Parmesan.   I then placed them in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 5 minutes.

When they came out of the oven the cheese, was all bubbly, melted and awesome.  If your cheese is not baked all the way through, put back in the oven for a minute or two.  Keep a close on it though, because it does not take bake through. 

We really liked these Zucchini Pizza Bites, and will be making them again.  Good thing they only take a few minutes to make, because they disappeared fast in our house.
