We made some Zucchini Pizza Bites today using our first zucchini from the garden.
What You’ll Need:
- 1 medium zucchini
- pizza sauce
- fresh oregano (or dried)
- shredded mozzarella cheese
- shredded parmesan cheese
- pepperoni
- onions (optional)
What You’ll Do:
- Preheat broiler; set rack in the middle.
- Trim ends on zucchini and cut into diagonal slices.
- Spread a teaspoon of sauce over each zucchini slice and sprinkle on some fresh chopped oregano. Top each zucchini slice with cheeses. Add pepperoni and onions, if desired.
- Broil about 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
My kids tolerate zucchini, it’s definitely not their favorite. I on the other hand LOVE zucchini, so guess who planted lots of it in the garden this year?
The verdict ~ add some sauce, cheese and pepperoni and the kids have decided that they like zucchini after all. Do you have a favorite zucchini recipe?

yummy!! Thanks for sharing the recipe:)
ReplyDeleteyum! going to have to try that!
ReplyDeleteyum!! My Zucchini plants - no go again this year :( We love to grill it in tinfoil packet w/ a dab of butter and tons of seasoning. Sammy will eat it up that way because its nice and tender.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun healthy way to make pizzas! Great idea! I may try this sometime. And my favorite zucchini recipe is zucchini bread, naturally :)
ReplyDeleteOk, YUM!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYum, what a great summer recipe. Not too heavy, lots of flavor, not too high prep.
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful! Bummer this year we didn't plant zucchini! :-{
ReplyDeleteOur garden is a little behind yours (I think "behind" is the theme of my life sometimes!). :) But when ours ripens, I definitely want to try this!
ReplyDeleteAs far as my favorite zucchini recipe, it would have to be a casserole recipe from Esther Shank's Mennonite cookbook. I'm looking forward to making that again this summer!
Thisis brillianT. I'll bet I could get my boys to eat zucchini this way, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by page during this weeks blog walk. =)
Yum, this looks really good. I forgot to plant zucchini this year
ReplyDelete:( I'll have to get some at the Farmer's market!
