Grilled Zucchini Pizza Slices
- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 1 ball zucchini (they are a round zucchini. Also called 8-ball zucchini)
- olive oil
- 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 cup pizza sauce
- 1⁄2 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 16 pepperoni slices
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.

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.
