For a vegetarian option, omit the pepperoni!

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 2 zucchini, cut into ¼-inch thick rounds
• Kosher salt
• freshly ground black pepper
• marinara sauce
• pepperoni (optional)
• shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
• fresh parsley

Instructions

Preheat your oven to broil (500 degrees).

1. Using a large skillet over medium high heat, heat the olive oil. Working in batches, add zucchini and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until nicely golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Place zucchini rounds onto a lined baking sheet. Top each one with the marinara sauce, a single pepperoni (if desired) and the shredded mozzarella cheese.
3. Place into oven and cook until the cheese has melted, only for about 1-2 minutes! Remove from the oven. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!

We love pizza and this is a great healthy alternative. It can also be used at an appetizer for parties :)
