Zucchini Pizza Bites
Zucchini Pizza Bites use zucchini rounds coated in an almond flour and spice mixture, baked until crisp, then topped with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and sliced meat sticks before broiling. The bites offer a low-carb alternative to traditional pizza with a tender zucchini base and melty, golden cheese topping, perfect for snacking or appetizers.

Ingredients
- 2 zucchini medium
- 1 egg whisked
- ¾ cup almond flour
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ⅓ cup pizza sauce scant ½ Tablespoon each
- ¾ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 2 Italian Chomps meat sticks thinly sliced
Instructions
- Slice each zucchini in 1/4 inch thick rounds, trying to keep them all around the same size.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and grab two shallow bowls. Whisk the egg in one bowl and mix together almond flour, garlic powder, salt and Italian seasoning in the other.
- Dip each zucchini slice into the egg wash and shake off any excess before sprinkling the almond flour mixture on each side of the zucchini. Don't dredge the zucchini in the almond flour mixture or it will start clumping.
- Place coated zucchini pieces onto prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining zucchini slices until done.
- Bake at 400°F for 30-40 minutes, flipping half way through. Remove from oven.
- Turn oven to broil and add pizza sauce, cheese and mini pepperonis to each pizza bite.
- Broil for 4-5 minutes total or until cheese is bubbling and turning golden brown. Remove from oven and cool.
- Sprinkle on crushed red pepper and Italian seasoning for serving, if desired.

Notes
- For dairy-free options, use vegan cheese or omit cheese entirely.
- If allergic to nuts, substitute almond flour with breadcrumbs.
- Vegetarian versions can skip the meat or add sautéed vegetables like peppers and mushrooms.
- Vegan adaptations may use flaxseed eggs instead of regular eggs and skip cheese.
- Experiment with different sauces such as pesto or sun-dried tomato pesto for variety.
- Additional vegetables and protein options can be added on top before broiling.
