Mini Zucchini (or Eggplant) Pizza Bites

Healthy-ish pizza bites using zucchini or eggplant base. Delicious and nutritious. Toddler approved! Easily frozen for later.

 1 zucchini or eggplant, cut in 1/2 in rounds
 ¼ cup pizza sauce, or more to taste
 1 cup cheese, or more to taste
 7 pepparoni, cut up
 olive oil

1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Meanwhile, place the zucchini rounds into a greased muffin tin (they fit perfectly) and the eggplant on a greased baking sheet.

2

Using a spoon spread pizza sauce on each round. The amount is to your taste, do you like a lot of sauce on your pizza?

3

Then put the shredded mozzarella on top. I usually use a lot because it hides the vegetable taste more for my son. When I make them for myself I use less to have it healthier.

4

Add cut up pepperoni.

5

Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes for zucchini and 20-25 minutes for eggplant.

6

Serve hot and enjoy!
I like to make this in big batches and vacuum seal some to freeze. They heat up well in the oven and then I'm stocked with delicious and nutritious pizza bites!
