Zany Zucchini Pizza Bites - Vegan recipe hero image

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.
