RECIPE: Zucchini "Pizza" Bites!

Soo I have been avoiding gluten to the best of my ability since July 2013 and the search for pizza options is always on my mind. If you live in Columbus, Harvest Pizzeria and Spagio have awesome gf pizza. I’ve also made my own dough before and was pretty successful. When I came across this recipe for pizza toppings on grilled zucchini slices I could not wait to try it!
The recipe called for an 8-ball round zucchini to have larger slices for the base, but as I mentioned I was eager and couldn’t find one at the store so I just picked the biggest zucchini I could. The recipe is really simple and flexible, I cut up the zucchini, sprayed a skillet with olive oil and grilled the slices on one side. Transferred the slices to a sprayed cookie sheet grilled side up. I added Prego to half and Kirkland (Costco brand-the best pesto oddly enough) Basil Pesto on half. Sprinkled a little mixed Italian cheese, put a piece of turkey pepperoni on the prego ones and  cut up small slices of cherry tomatoes and onion for the pesto pieces.
Baked it for about 7 minutes and that’s it!


The recipe I was working off of put the slices on an actual grill, grilled one side, flipped them, added the toppings and continued to grill. I liked the idea of baking them more and the topping/sauce options are endless! Be creative!
