Ingredients

Scale

2 medium zucchinis, sliced into ¼-inch rounds

1–2 teaspoons olive oil (for brushing)

½ cup pizza sauce (or marinara sauce)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Mini pepperoni slices (or regular pepperoni, cut small)

½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Arrange zucchini slices in a single layer and brush lightly with olive oil.

Bake for 5 minutes to soften and prevent sogginess.

Remove from oven and top each slice with a small spoonful of pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella, and your choice of toppings.

Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and parmesan.

Return to oven and bake for 5–7 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.

Notes

Air Fryer Option: Cook at 375°F for 5–7 minutes.

Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in oven or air fryer.

Make Ahead: Roast zucchini slices ahead of time, then top and bake when ready to serve.

Variations: Try pesto, BBQ sauce, or Alfredo instead of pizza sauce for fun flavor twists.
