Recipe by: Kristen McCaffrey of Slender Kitchen
Prep Time: 5 minutes; Cook Time: 20 minutes; Total Time: 25 minutes
Makes 6 Servings

Ingredients

  • Mini turkey or regular pepperoni
  • Sliced bell peppers
  • Shredded zucchini  - I like to cook it first, so it doesn't get soggy
  • Chicken or turkey sausage
  • Mushrooms
  • Onions
  • Black olives
  • Jalapenos
  • Barbecue sauce and chicken
  • Mini-Meatballs
  • Fresh basil
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Ricotta cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  2. If you have time, sprinkle the sliced eggplant with salt and let it sit for 15 minutes. Wipe the eggplant with a paper towel. This removes some of the moisture from the eggplant and makes for a better crust.
  3. Brush the eggplant with olive oil on both sides and sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until tender and beginning to brown.
  5. Remove and spread with marinara sauce and cheese. Top with any other toppings you like. Return to oven and bake for 4-6 minutes until cheese is melted.

Zucchini Pepperoni Pizza Bites

I went on a little pizza crazy over the week and ate some pizza at every meal. It totally hits the spots and makes a great snack or lunch. I had mine with a bowl of tomato soup and was completely satisfied.
