Breaded Zucchini Pizza Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Slice the zucchini 1/4-inch thick; you should get about 24 slices. Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Top each slice with 1/2 teaspoon marinara sauce and 1 teaspoon mozzarella.
• Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 8 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat toaster oven to 450 degrees F. Line the baking tray with foil.
• Arrange the zucchini slices on the baking tray and toss with the olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Bake until slightly tender, about 8 minutes.
• Remove from the toaster oven. Spoon a thin layer of barbecue sauce over each zucchini slice. Dividing evenly, top with the ham, pepper jack cheese, pineapple and bacon.
• Bake until the cheese is melted and the toppings are heated through, 9 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with foil. Slice mozzarella balls in half; set aside.
• Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Rinse tomatoes and put in the boiling water for blanching. Remove after 1 minute, let cool slightly, and use your hands to peel the skin; it should slip off easily.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in another small pot. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add peeled tomatoes, basil, and oregano. Cook tomatoes, breaking up with a spoon, to create a sauce. Let cook while you prepare zucchini.
• Whisk egg and water together in a small bowl until mixture is consistent. Put panko in a shallow bowl.
• Dip zucchini pieces into the egg-water mixture, then coat both sides with panko.
• Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add panko-coated zucchini slices and saute until golden brown, flipping occasionally, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the prepared cookie sheet.
• Top each zucchini slice with about 1 teaspoon sauce and 1 pepperoni slice. Place 1 piece mozzarella on top of each zucchini.
• Bake in the preheated oven until mozzarella is slightly melted, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, adjust an oven rack to the upper-middle position, and preheat the broiler to high.
• Trim the ends from the zucchini and slice each zucchini crosswise into 1/2- to 3/4-inch rounds (you should get about 24 rounds). Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini and cook until browned on one side (in batches, if needed), 4 to 5 minutes.
• Transfer the zucchini to the baking sheet, browned side up. Top each zucchini round with 1/2 teaspoon of the marinara sauce, a pepperoni slice (if using), and a piece of mozzarella. Broil the zucchini until the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes (watch the pizza bites closely, as broiler intensities vary).
• Remove the zucchini from the oven and transfer to a platter. Sprinkle with the salt and serve warm.
