Zucchini Pizza Bites

A glorious combination of flavors...zucchini and pizza toppings! Zucchini Pizza Bites are a super simple appetizer or snack. I have to admit, though, I could make a meal out of these yummy bites of guilt-free, garden-fresh goodness all by themselves!

I like to use my panini press with the grill grate plates for the zucchini slices. Broiling in the oven is also an option. I’ve included instructions for both cooking methods.

At the bottom of my recipe, I’ve listed some suggestions for optional toppings. I’m pretty sure you’ll agree that these are delicious!

Zucchini Pizza Bites

​1 large zucchini, cut into 1/4”-thick slices
Olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Garlic salt
Pizza sauce
Shredded mozzarella cheese
Dried Italian seasoning (typically a blend of oregano, basil, marjoram, thyme, basil, sage, and rosemary)

Place zucchini slices into a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with black pepper and garlic salt (to taste). Use your hands to toss and distribute the seasonings.

For panini grilling:
Preheat panini press to medium-high. Place zucchini slices onto the grill plates and close lid; grill for about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a serving plate and immediately top with sauce, cheese, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning…serve and enjoy!


For broiling:
Preheat oven to broil. Place zucchini slices on a baking sheet and broil for about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from oven and immediately top with sauce, cheese, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning (you can pop them back in the oven for about another minute if you want more ooey-gooey meltedness on the cheese)…and it’s time to eat!

Note:  Optional toppings could include a pepperoni slice, black olives, diced tomato, or any other pizza topping that you like.
