Zucchini Mini Pizzas




I love this recipe for fall. Zucchini is such a versatile vegetable, and is so plentiful in the fall. Also very inexpensive and super healthy. I often use it to replace carbs for low carb options, such as this one. I love pizza! This way I can have my pizza and eat it too. Here are my suggestions for pizzas, but you can add any of your favorite ingredients to make your own masterpiece! These are super easy, and make a great snack.

1 large Zucchini, sliced in ½ inch round slices. (Choose a zuchinni that is big and round)
½ tbsp Coconut Oil
1 cup Healthy Choice Spaghetti Sauce (Optional: Flavor with spices as desired)
Grated Light Old Cheddar Cheese
Sliced Low Fat Turkey Pepperoni
Chopped Green Peppers
Sliced Pickled JalapeƱo Peppers
Chopped Mushrooms

1.       Preheat oven to 400 degrees Celsius
2.       Heat coconut oil in heavy pan over medium high heat
3.       Grill zucchini slices in heated coconut oil until tender/crisp. Do not over cook! 3-5 minutes each side will usually suffice!
4.       Line baking pan with aluminum foil, line zuchinni slices on the pan. Spread with spaghetti sauce.
5.       Top with your favorite toppings! (turkey pepperoni, green peppers, jalapeno peppers, mushrooms etc.)
6.       Sprinkle with Grated cheese.
7.       Place in oven until cheese is melted. Cool, and enjoy!
Sometimes I use whatever I can find in the fridge! The other “pizzas” in the photograph are made with spinach, fresh parsley, tomatoes and goat cheese. Very tasty J
