Pizza Zucchinis

These carb free diet friendly pizza zucchinis are the solid way to enjoy pizza flavor even when your on a diet. Our kids love them as much as we do!

Coming up with good, easy and quick snacks- that don't rely on gluten- has been a bit of a challenge as we try to transition grain and gluten out of our diet for some health reasons. When we're craving something quick for a snack or an easy dinner that doesnt require much prep OR cooking time, we often feel a bit stuck. Luckily, these easy and good Pizza Zucchinis are grain and gluten free, relatively low calorie, and extremely good!

We've seen a few varations of these online, but we made ours to be the easiest, tastiest we could come up with quickly. We personally don't prefer to pre-bake the zucchini slices, since we like a firm crisp texture from the zucchinis. If you prefer yours a little more cooked, you can pre-cook the zucchinis for about 10-15 minutes before adding the sauce and cheese.

These are solid as easy appetizers, great for lunch, and kind of taste like bagel bites- but with a lot more veggies! You'll love them.
