Broiled Zucchini Pizza Bites

This broiled zucchini pizza bites recipe is a delicious way to use up your zucchini from the garden!

My kids will eat anything if I make a pizza flavored version of it. And I’ll be honest, I have milked this weakness of my kids to get them to eat more vegetables. I have even used it to get them to eat vegetables as an afternoon snack in the form of Zucchini Pizza Bites.

These zucchini pizza bites make a delicious snack or appetizer. You can double, triple, or quadruple the recipe for a large party. The broiled zucchini pizza bites come together so quickly that they also make an easy lunch or quick dinner on a busy night.

Prep Ahead Tip: You can slice the zucchinis a day or two in advance. Store the sliced zucchini pieces in a seal-able plastic bag or a lidded container.

While this recipe calls for pizza sauce, you can always use leftover spaghetti sauce if you have some on hand.
