    Easy Zucchini Pizza Bites are tasty, low carb, keto, oven baked, frugal snack. Who can resist such an easy, cheesy, zucchini pepperoni pizza rounds recipe?

    Zucchini Pizza Bites

    It seems I am always looking for new things to do with zucchini!   In an attempt to find new zucchini recipes I stumbled on to one similar to this. 

    I had to give it a try and then realized just how easy these zucchini pizza bites were to make. Then, when devouring them we realized what an incredible snack they were to eat! 

    Everyone just loved them. I mean, who can resist anything, even zucchini, with pasta sauce, cheese and pepperoni?  I haven't met anyone who can yet!

    I can never seem to make enough of these delicious zucchini pizza rounds either!  They disappear so fast! 

    I have made them as a snack for movie night or as an appetizer when we have company over.  I always end up with so many zucchinis from my garden and I have to be creative to make sure nothing goes to waste!

    This zucchini bites recipe and our Easy Zucchini Pizza Boats are favorites and always such a treat! No matter which toppings you choose to use!

    If you'd like more pizza ideas, take a look at our fall pizza recipes or our summer pizza recipes lists. Everything there to satisfy your pizza cravings while making a totally different meal each time!

    Zucchini Pepperoni Pizza  

    The little oven baked zucchini pizza rounds taste exactly like little pizzas. I usually try and use pepperoni but any cooked mea will definitely work.

    I have used chopped or sliced bacon and sausage.

    With bacon I just cut off a slice that is a little larger than my zucchini slices because as you know bacon shrinks as it cooks. As you might expect, the bacon tastes wonderful too.

    If I am using sausages I buy the large sausages and cook them in the oven or skillet, usually they are so easy to fry. Then I slice them and brown each side.

    After each side is browned a little I place one on top of each cheese covered zucchini slice, instead of the pepperoni. We have used Italian and honey garlic sausages and both tasted terrific.

    Just throwing out some ideas for you to consider trying. I always figure the more options the better!

    Oven Baked Zucchini Pizza Bites 

    These zucchini pizza bites are delicious, right out of the oven, after they have been under the broiler for a minute or two. No matter which toppings you add, the broiler always adds a nice color.

    My husband always broils these longer than I do!  He loves the pepperoni on these Easy Zucchini Pizza Bites to be more well done so you will just have to broil them until the pepperoni, bacon or sausage is done just the way you like them!

    Pizza Rounds Recipe 

    These super simple pizza rounds are so inexpensive to make that my husband calls them thrifty or frugal snacks. Even though we grow zucchinis, they are still cheap to purchase, all things considered.

    My husband loves to save money and after all these years he has been rubbing off on me, slowly but surely. He would be so happy to hear that.

    After all these years even I see the changes in myself. He brings balance in my life and without him I would likely live in a lot more debt, just like I did before him.

    Unnecessary purchases filling my credit cards. I used to be terrible but now I am so different I actually impress myself. I have self control and I actually ask myself if I really need something before I buy it.

    Sorry, I will get back to these mouthwatering pizza rounds! 

    Keto Low Carb Zucchini Recipe 

    These easy low carb zucchini pizza bites are amazing because they are healthy too, all things considered. My friend, who has been keto for years loves these and our Easy Zucchini Pizza Boats.

    She eats them as she likes them and switches up her toppings all of the time.

    In our house we are eating less and less bread. These little bites are perfect for any time. My husband and I eat these while watching a movie even.

    It's so easy to just stick a fork in one piece and put it right inside your mouth.

    Such an amazing flavor explosion. It always makes me want another one. 

    I love eating something that is low carb that tastes great so I don't feel like I am missing something. You know what I mean? These little suckers fit that bill!

    There are times when my zucchini slice is just too big to fit in my mouth in one shot. That is when a sharp knife comes in handy!

      Can you substitute eggplant for zucchini?

        What a great idea! I never considered eggplant as an option, frankly it never occurred to me, but I really think it could work. I would preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut your eggplant into 1/4 inch thick slices. Arrange slices in a single layer, spaced apart, on a greased baking sheet. Brush side with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Flip over each piece and repeat. Bake until lightly browned. Turning once at the halfway mark for about 25 minutes. Turn the oven up to broil. Brush on sauce and pile cheese and pepperoni (or whichever toppings you choose) until Cheese is melted. I think they will taste delicious and I’m going to try that myself! Thank you for the suggestion! If you try it please let me know what you think. I would love to hear. Hope this helps. Take care and all the best. Karin
