Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large zucchini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup sugar-free marinara sauce
- 0.5 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 12 pieces turkey pepperoni slices
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the zucchini slices lightly with olive oil on both sides.
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mix evenly over the zucchini slices.
Bake the zucchini in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, or until they begin to soften slightly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and spoon a small amount of marinara sauce onto each zucchini slice, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle a small amount of shredded mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese on top of the marinara sauce on each zucchini round.
Top each slice with a piece of turkey pepperoni.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the mini pizzas cool for a couple of minutes.
If desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your low-carb, guilt-free snack!
