Notes
- Use large zucchinis for this recipe otherwise you won’t have enough surface area for the toppings. Alternatively, you can slice the zucchini diagonally to make the slices bigger.
- Feel free to switch up the toppings! Other ideas include: lean ham, chicken, mushrooms, tomatoes, red onion.
- If you can’t find mini pepperoni, you can just cut up regular sized pepperoni. Use a metal smoothie straw or small round cookie cutter to cut out perfect circles.
- These are best eaten fresh but they can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven before serving.
