Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, ends trimmed
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup mini pepperoni
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the zucchinis into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  3. Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the marinara mixture onto each zucchini slice.
  6. Top each with a pinch of mozzarella cheese and a mini pepperoni.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the zucchini is tender.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinara sauce.
  • You can substitute other toppings like cooked mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives.
  • Ensure your zucchinis are not too watery by patting them dry with a paper towel before topping.
