Bake the Zucchini:
Place the zucchini slices in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they’re slightly tender but still firm. You want them to hold up as a base for the pizza toppings.
Top the Zucchini Slices:
Remove the zucchini slices from the oven. Spoon a small amount of marinara sauce onto each slice, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan. Add a pinch of dried oregano, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using) on top for extra flavor.
Bake Again:
Return the zucchini pizza bites to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the zucchini start to turn golden brown.
Garnish and Serve:
Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your tasty, healthy zucchini pizza bites!
Serving and Storage Tips:
- Serve immediately after baking while the cheese is melty and the zucchini is tender.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave for a quick snack.
- Freezing: You can also freeze the baked zucchini pizza bites. Place them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. To reheat, bake directly from frozen at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes.
Variations:
- Veggie Toppings: Add extra veggies like mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers for more flavor and texture.
- Meat Lover’s: Top with cooked pepperoni, sausage, or bacon for a meaty twist.
- Cheese Variety: Experiment with different cheeses, like cheddar, goat cheese, or Parmesan, for a unique flavor.
- Pesto Drizzle: For added richness, drizzle with pesto after baking for a fresh, herby finish.
