Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 0.5 cups Low-carb marinara sauce
- 1 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 0.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the zucchinis. Slice each one into 1/4-inch thick rounds to form your "pizza bases."
Arrange the zucchini slices on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Brush both sides of the zucchini slices with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Bake the zucchini slices in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, until they are slightly softened.
Remove the zucchini from the oven and spread a small spoonful of low-carb marinara sauce over each slice.
Top each slice with shredded mozzarella cheese and optionally add pepperoni slices or any other toppings of your choice.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
If desired, sprinkle red chili flakes and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Allow to cool slightly and serve warm. Enjoy your low-carb zucchini pizza!
