Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Slice the zucchinis into 1/4 inch thick rounds. You should have around 20 slices from two medium zucchinis.
Place the zucchini slices on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush both sides of the zucchini slices lightly with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt and black pepper.
Bake the zucchini in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to help them soften slightly.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the tomato sauce with garlic powder and dried oregano.
Remove the zucchini from the oven and spoon a small amount of the tomato sauce mixture onto each slice.
Top each sauced slice with a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
Add a small pepperoni slice on top of the cheese on each zucchini slice.
Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the mini pizzas cool slightly.
Garnish each mini pizza with a fresh basil leaf before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious low carb mini pizzas!
