[VIDEO] Zucchini Pizza Cups

Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • avocado oil or olive oil spray
  • 2 medium/large zucchini sliced into 1/4''-thin rounds
  • 1 cup marinara or pizza sauce
  • nitrate-free pepperoni
  • 1 cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced pitted olives black or green
  • 1 Tbsp minced fresh parsley or fresh basil

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees f. and spritz a 12-cup muffin pan with your oil.
  • Place your sliced zucchini in a colander.
  • Lightly sprinkle sea salt on your zucchini then set aside for 15 minutes.
  • Blot your zucchini of excess moisture with paper towels. The salt should have drawn out a bit of water from them, so gently pat them dry.
  • To assemble your pizza cups add a round of zucchini into each muffin cup.
  • Top with a teaspoon of sauce, a slice of pepperoni, a pinch of shredded cheese, and a couple of slices of olives.
  • Repeat the layers 2 times.
  • Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until golden brown and melty.
  • Once finished roasting, carefully remove your pizza cups from the pan while still hot and place them on a platter.
  • Sprinkle with chopped parsley or basil, if desired, and enjoy!
