Steps:

• Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch-thick slices. You can leave them unpeeled.
• Preheat your broiler on high and position an oven rack 4 inches below the heating element (in most ovens this is simply the top rack). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray it with olive oil.
• Arrange the zucchini slices on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray them with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Broil the zucchini slices until tender and lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Keep a close eye on them! Some might brown faster than the others - remove them to a plate and keep broiling the rest.
• Remove the pan from the oven. Spoon a little marinara sauce on top of each zucchini slice. Top with cheese and pepperoni. Return to the broiler just until cheese is melted, 30-60 more seconds. Serve immediately.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI PIZZA BITES

Steps:

• Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, adjust an oven rack to the upper-middle position, and preheat the broiler to high.
• Trim the ends from the zucchini and slice each zucchini crosswise into 1/2- to 3/4-inch rounds (you should get about 24 rounds). Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini and cook until browned on one side (in batches, if needed), 4 to 5 minutes.
• Transfer the zucchini to the baking sheet, browned side up. Top each zucchini round with 1/2 teaspoon of the marinara sauce, a pepperoni slice (if using), and a piece of mozzarella. Broil the zucchini until the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes (watch the pizza bites closely, as broiler intensities vary).
• Remove the zucchini from the oven and transfer to a platter. Sprinkle with the salt and serve warm.
