Zucchini Pizza Bites

Zucchini Pizza Bites make a light snack by topping thinly sliced zucchini rounds with marinara sauce, melted mozzarella, and mini pepperoni. The zucchini is lightly pan-seared for a golden edge and topped before broiling briefly to melt the cheese. Finished with a sprinkle of Italian seasoning, they provide a low-carb alternative to traditional pizza with fresh vegetable texture and familiar flavors.
