Pizza Stuffed Zucchini Recipe

Ingredients

  • 3 medium zucchini
  • about 20-30 thin slices of nitrate-free pepperoni or more
  • 8 slices high quality fresh mozzarella, or more, cut into eighths (we want them the same size as the zuchinni)
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 Tbsp freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1/4 cup fresh tomato sauce or marinara sauce, for dipping (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees f.
  • Slice off both ends of zucchini and discard.
  • On a cutting board, line up chopsticks on both sides of zucchini, then carefully make 1/4” slices, making sure your knife hits the chopsticks and doesn't go all the way through the zuchinni.
  • Place zucchini on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until it softens, for about 10 minutes.
  • Let it cool for 5 minutes, then, stuff the zucchini, alternating with pepperoni and mozzarella.
  • Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and Parmesan. Bake for 10 minutes more, until cheese is melty and pepperoni is crispy.
  • Serve warm, with marinara sauce and enjoy!
