Description

The cutest plant-based pizza bites made with a zucchini base and loaded with more vegetables. Serve solo as an appetizer or over grains for a meal!


Ingredients

  • 1 zucchini, sliced into ½” rounds
  • ¼ cup pizza sauce 
  • ¼ cup vegan mozzarella cheese
  • Kalamata olives, sliced
  • Onion, sliced thin
  • Bell pepper, finely chopped 
  • Mushrooms, finely chopped  
  • Dried basil
  • Dried oregano
  • Garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  2. Slice the zucchini into ½” rounds and arrange them on the baking sheet. 
  3. Top each zucchini round with ~1 tsp of pizza sauce. Sprinkle them with vegan mozzarella cheese. Top them with chopped olives, onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sprinkle with a pinch of dried basil, dried oregano, and optional garlic powder. 
  4. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake them for 18-20 minutes, or until the zucchini is soft to the touch, but not mushy, the cheese is melted, and the vegetables are lightly browned and crispy.
  5. Serve immediately by themselves or over quinoa for a more extensive meal. 
  6. Reheat leftovers in the microwave for 30-60 seconds, until warmed throughout.
