This Keto Zucchini Pizza Bites Recipe is just 2g net carbs for this whole plate! Zucchini rounds topped with marinara sauce, cheese + little pepperonis, baked in the oven. A low carb snack, appetizer or meal!

Ingredients

    • 1 zucchinisliced 3/8″ thick (I love using my mandoline)
    • 3 tablespoons marinara sauce
    • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
    • 2 tablespoons mini pepperonissee 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

Serving Size: This is enough to feed 1 person as a meal, or a few people as a snack. If making for a crowd as an appetizer, you’ll need about half a zucchini per person.

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.
