Ingredients
- 2 large zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
- 20 pepperoni slices
- 10 fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the zucchinis and cut them into slices about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the zucchini slices on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the zucchini slices with the olive oil mixture using a pastry brush.
Bake the zucchini slices in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes to slightly soften them.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and spread a spoonful of pizza sauce onto each zucchini slice.
Sprinkle the mozzarella and parmesan cheese evenly over the sauce-covered zucchini.
Add pepperoni slices on top of the cheese, and return the baking sheet to the oven.
Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
