Zucchini Pizza Bites – A Tasty Low-Carb Snack
Pizza is one of those foods that’s hard to resist, but sometimes, I just want something lighter that doesn’t leave me feeling stuffed. That’s why I love making these zucchini pizza bites. They have everything that makes pizza great (zesty sauce, gooey cheese, and crispy pepperoni). But instead of a heavy crust, they’re built on tender zucchini rounds.
They’re quick to throw together, perfect for snacking, and a fun way to get some extra veggies in without even thinking about it.

How to Make Zucchini Piza Bites
Here are the ingredients you need to make these zucchini pizza bites, plus step by step instructions for how to make them.
Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini
- ⅓ cup pizza sauce
- ⅔ cup mozzarella cheese
- 10 pepperoni, quartered
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
Step by Step Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
2. Wash and dry the zucchini, then slice it into ¼-inch thick rounds. You should end up with about 20 slices, depending on the size of your zucchini. Arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece.
3. Cut each of the pepperoni slices into four smaller pieces. This makes them the perfect size for layering on top of the zucchini rounds.
4. Spoon about ½ teaspoon of pizza sauce onto each zucchini slice, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then lightly dust the tops with Italian seasoning for that classic pizza flavor. Finally, place two small pieces of pepperoni on each bite.
5. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
6. Let the zucchini pizza bites cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy them as a snack, appetizer, or a fun low-carb twist on pizza!
Zucchini pizza bites are simple, delicious, and a great way to enjoy pizza flavors in a lighter way. They come together fast, bake up perfectly, and disappear even faster. Make a batch for a snack, a party, or just because you’re craving something cheesy and good. You won’t miss the crust!
