Keto Zucchini Pizza Bites
Free Keto Meal Plan: KETO DIET PLAN FOR BEGINNERS STEP BY STEP GUIDE
Ingredients
-
- 1 zucchini, sliced 3/8″ thick (I love using my mandoline)
- 3 tablespoons marinara sauce
-
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- 2 tablespoons mini pepperonis, see Notes below
Instructions
-
-
Preheat your oven to 400ºF. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
-
Arrange the zucchini in an even layer on the baking sheet. Top each with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and mini pepperonis.
-
-
Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. (I often like to broil it for 30-60 seconds in the end so it gets super crispy cheese on the edges that have melted over! My favorite part!)
-
Allow cooling for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm.
-
As always, lots of tips, FAQs and substitution info in the Recipe Notes!

Notes
Mini Pepperonis: You can buy mini pepperonis in the store. Or! Get large pepperonis and cut them smaller. I used a single-hole punch (that you normally use for paper, haha!). Or you could use kitchen shears and cut them into little triangles.
Squash: This would also work with yellow squash!
Prep Ahead: If making this for an appetizer, I would fully assemble on a baking sheet and refrigerate it for up to 1 day. Then, when you’re guests are about to arrive bake and serve warm!
Leftovers: We’ve never had leftovers of these, they get eaten too fast, haha! But you could store them in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Could eat them cold or reheat in a 400ºF oven again until warm, about 5-10 minutes.
