Oven
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Start assembling the bites: Spread about a teaspoon of marinara sauce over each zucchini slice. Top with a few pepperoni slices, and a couple of black olives.
- Finish assembling: Place the zucchini slices on the baking sheet and top them with cheese. Season with some Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.

Notes
- The larger zucchinis are much better for placing the ingredients on top.
- If using medium sized zucchinis, cut them on a diagonal to create a larger surface for placing the toppings on.
- Customize the toppings by using your favorite pizza toppings. Experimenting can be fun!
- Include some black pepper for additional spice.
- Zucchini pizza bites are definitely best served hot and fresh, but can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
