Zucchini Pizza

Nicole
Zucchini Pizza is cheesy, gooey and full of flavor. It's all the things you love about pizza, but a great variation for a more nutritious meal!

Ingredients
 

  • 4 medium sized zucchini cut into ¼" - ⅜" strips, lengthwise
  • ½ teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon parsley or garlic spread seasoning instead of garlic powder and parsley
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried or freeze dried
  • 12 ounce marinara sauce
  • 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese
  • Any desired pizza toppings pepperoni, peppers, ham, mushroom, etc

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375* F
  • Slice zucchini lengthwise into ¼"- ⅜" strips. Combine salt, basil, garlic and parsley together in a bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture on top of the zucchini. Top with sauce, cheese and desired toppings.

  • Bake in a preheated oven for 15-18 minutes. Insert a fork into the zucchini to test for doneness. No mushy zucchini here! You should be able to insert a fork pretty easily, but it should still feel slightly firm.

  • Turn the oven to broil, and broil on high for 1-3 minutes until cheese reaches preferred doneness.

  • Serve and Enjoy!

Notes

  • Store up to 5 days in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave or toaster oven until cheese is melted. Or reheat in the air fryer at 400* for 2-3 minutes.
  • Do not over cook your zucchini or it will be mushy. Remove from the oven as soon as it's al dente.
  • Use garlic spread seasoning, Italian seasoning, or whatever you want. Just make sure to season the zucchini before adding the marinara. It makes a huge difference in flavor.
  • For crispy, bubbly cheese, broil at the end for 1-3 minutes. We love it this way!
  • We love to serve this with grilled chicken and other garden vegetables.
