Grilled Zucchini Pizza Slices

"Here's a low carb option to satisfy your pizza craving! Use a round, 8-ball zucchini to create the round "crust." You should get about 4 "pizzas" out of one squash. If that is not available, you can use long zucchinis, but make sure you slice them lengthwise so you can grill them. I also think that if you sliced a long zucchini into rounds, you could broil them and make bite sized appetizer pizzas. I gave the instructions for pepperoni pizzas, but you can also add other toppings as desired."

directions

  • Oil the grill grates (I use a bit of oil on a paper towel), then preheat grill to medium-high. (If using a broiler, it should be reheated as well.).
  • Cut zucchini into thick slices about 3/4 inch thick. (try to find an 8-Ball zucchini to get round slices, You can cut the zucchini into lengthwise slices, depending on what shape the zucchini is. I wouldn't use enormous zucchini with large seeds for this recipe.).
  • Grill the zucchini 7-8 minutes, or until there are some grill marks and it's starting to be tender. (If the zucchini has a side that's slightly larger, grill that first so it will be the "top.").
  • Remove zucchini from the grill, putting them grilled-side on a plate.
  • Spread each slice of zucchini with about 1 T red pizza sauce.
  • Add cheese and pepperoni.
  • Put zucchini slices back on the grill and cook 7-8 minutes more with the grill lid closed.
  • Check them every few minutes to see when the cheese is melted and the toppings are lightly browned, especially if you're using a broiler. If you have a gas grill where you can regulate the heat, turn it to high when you put the pizza back on.
  • Remove zucchini pizzas from grill and serve hot.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

The most defining trait in my life is that I am a mother to two wonderful boys (Tyler, 20 and Zayden, 9). I live in the little college town of Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. It is the most wonderful place to live as it's nestled in the Appalachian Mountains and along the beautiful Susquehanna River. Seeing that we live in Central Pennsylvania, our family is also a bunch of HARDCORE Penn State Nittany Lion fans! We are...PENN STATE! I was lucky enough to be given tickets to see Joe Paterno win his 400th game as the head coach of the football team. I cried like I did when my children were born. The other love of my life is cooking. I didn't really start trying to cook until I was 20, but believe me I have made up for lost time! I absolutely adore baking and I do it whenever I can. I love making Christmas cookies and I have begun hosting our extended families at our home for Thanksgiving and Easter dinners. So far so good. I love food.com because it allows me to expand my culinary skills and my recipe box with ideas from other people like me. There is something for everyone and I have been a loyal member since 2005.
