Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large garlic clove crushed
- 4 medium zucchini
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2/3 cup Pizza Sauce
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/3 cup pepperoni mini slices (or larger ones cut into quarters)
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano dried, for garnish
- 10 basil leaves fresh, chiffonade, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat skillet over medium heat with olive oil and garlic. Slice zucchini in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds and some of the zucchini "meat" so that you are left with a skinny boat shape, about 1/3-1/2 inch thick.*
- Sprinkle salt and black pepper over prepared zucchini. Remove garlic from pan. Place zucchinis cut side down in pan and cover.
- Cook 5 minutes and turn. Edges should be brown. Cover and cook another 5 minutes. Transfer cooked zucchini to a sheet pan and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Fill with pizza sauce and cheese, then top with mini pepperoni. Sprinkle with oregano. Bake under the broiler until cheese has melted. Remove from oven.
- Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot!
Notes
- *If you are using large zucchinis, slice in half, this time width-wise so you have 4 'boats' per zucchini. If you are using small zucchinis from the store, you can forgo this step.

- **I like my zucchini crisp-tender, meaning it is still a little firm but not crunchy like a totally uncooked zucchini would be. If you would like a softer zucchini, all you need to do is bake the pizza stuffed zucchini at 375° F for 10-15 minutes (as opposed to broiling). This should soften things up!
