If you ever have occasions when you’re in the mood for pizza, but don’t want to go whole hog on a bulky, carby crust, you’re going to love this recipe.

It’s as easy as slicing a zucchini and seasoning it, can be made in less than 20 minutes, and is a delicious craving-quencher for pizza.

Using the broil function of your oven not only does a great job of making the cheese melty and amazing, it also makes this recipe a lot quicker to whip up.

It is simple, yes, but it’s a yummy way to get in a serving of vegetables whilst eating something you love, even for our lower-carb friends.

Servings 2 servings

Ingredients

  

• 1 small zucchini or half of a larger one
• olive oil spray or 2-3 tablespoons of regular olive oil
• garlic powder to taste
• 1/3 cup vegan mozzerella shreds
• 1/3 cup marinara sauce
• desired pizza toppings, such as veggie pepperoni or sausage crumbles optional

Instructions

 

• Start by slicing your zucchini into rounds. You'll want your slices to be about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch in thickness. Lay your slices on a rimmed baking sheet, then spray with olive oil spray and sprinkle with garlic powder. Flip and repeat on the other side.
• Put your oven broiler on high setting. Broil your zucchini slices for 5 minutes, then flip and broil 5 minutes on the other side, or until fork tender but not burned. Be sure to keep an eye on your zucchini while it cooks and check it often.
• Take your slices out of the oven and spoon an equal amount of marinara sauce on each one, then the cheese and any other toppings you may want. Broil again for 1-2 minutes, checking to make sure cheese is melty but not burnt. It usually only takes mine a little over a minute to be done, but all ovens are different. Just keep a close eye on them, and you'll be fine.
• Plate them up and enjoy!
