Baked Zucchini Pizza Bites Recipes

TOASTER OVEN ZUCCHINI PIZZA BITES

Steps:

• Preheat toaster oven to 450 degrees F. Line the baking tray with foil.
• Arrange the zucchini slices on the baking tray and toss with the olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Bake until slightly tender, about 8 minutes.
• Remove from the toaster oven. Spoon a thin layer of barbecue sauce over each zucchini slice. Dividing evenly, top with the ham, pepper jack cheese, pineapple and bacon.
• Bake until the cheese is melted and the toppings are heated through, 9 to 10 minutes.

BREADED ZUCCHINI PIZZA BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with foil. Slice mozzarella balls in half; set aside.
• Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Rinse tomatoes and put in the boiling water for blanching. Remove after 1 minute, let cool slightly, and use your hands to peel the skin; it should slip off easily.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in another small pot. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add peeled tomatoes, basil, and oregano. Cook tomatoes, breaking up with a spoon, to create a sauce. Let cook while you prepare zucchini.
• Whisk egg and water together in a small bowl until mixture is consistent. Put panko in a shallow bowl.
• Dip zucchini pieces into the egg-water mixture, then coat both sides with panko.
• Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add panko-coated zucchini slices and saute until golden brown, flipping occasionally, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the prepared cookie sheet.
• Top each zucchini slice with about 1 teaspoon sauce and 1 pepperoni slice. Place 1 piece mozzarella on top of each zucchini.
• Bake in the preheated oven until mozzarella is slightly melted, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

ZUCCHINI PIZZA BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place the zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with salt; let drain for 15 minutes then squeeze out the moisture.
• Combine the zucchini, eggs, Parmesan, 1 cup mozzarella, and 1/2 cup Monterey Jack in a large bowl. Press the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
• While the zucchini crust is baking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the ground beef and onion. Cook and stir until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Stir in the tomato sauce and Italian seasoning.
• Spoon the sauce mixture over the baked zucchini crust. Top with the bell pepper, mushrooms, black olives, and the remaining mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheeses. Return to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until heated through. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

• Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 8 minutes.
