You know those days when you just want to snack but also want to keep it healthy?
That’s where my Zany Zucchini Pizza Bites come in!
I whipped these up one afternoon when I had a couple of zucchinis lying around and thought, why not?
They turned out to be a hit, and I’ve made them for friends and family ever since.
Plus, they’re so easy to customize – you can let your creativity run wild with toppings!
What Makes This Recipe Special
- ✓Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
- ✓No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
- ✓Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
- ✓Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not
Ingredients & Substitutions
Using fresh, firm zucchinis is key to getting that perfect bite. Nutritional yeast is a game changer – it gives a lovely cheesy flavor without any vegan cheese. Feel free to swap out the pizza sauce with pesto or hummus for a different twist!
Tips & Notes
- •If you want extra crispiness, try broiling the bites for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
- •These are best eaten fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for a day or two.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll sprinkle some vegan mozzarella cheese on top for extra cheesiness.
- •You can add fresh spinach or arugula before serving for a burst of color and nutrition.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. They can get a bit soggy, so I recommend reheating them in the oven to restore some of that crunch!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other vegetables?
Absolutely! Bell peppers, eggplant, or even thick slices of tomato work great as a base.
