Ingredients:
- 3 zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch thick rounds
- 1/3 cup tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup low-fat mozzarella
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste, red pepper flakes if desired
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to broil.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Working in batches, add zucchini and cook, flipping once, until golden, about 1-2 minutes on each side; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
3. Place zucchini rounds onto a large baking sheet.
4. Top each zucchini round with marinara, mozzarella and pepperoni minis.
5. Place into oven and cook until the cheese has melted, about 1-2 minutes.
6. Serve immediately, sprinkled with Italian seasoning, if desired.
NOTE: Zucchini gets soggy if stored. These are best served once cooked.
