How To Make Zucchini Pizza Bites
This is the best zucchini pizza bites recipe for many reasons! It tastes delicious, is packed with veggies, AND takes just 20 minutes to make. Here’s how we make them:
Roast zucchini rounds. Arrange zucchini slices in a single layer on a prepared baking sheet. Spray with avocado oil spray and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until just crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
Top your mini zucchini pizzas. Top each slice with marinara sauce…
Followed by mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, and pepperoni quarter slices.
Bake. Bake your mini pizza bites for about 8-10 minutes, until cheese is melted and zucchini is soft. Broil for 1-2 minutes to brown cheese. Serve immediately!

Keto Pizza Bites Storage Instructions
Can you make keto pepperoni pizza bites ahead?
Because these take just 20 minutes from start to finish, I recommend making them fresh. If you wanted to prep a few things, you could slice the zucchini, or even pre-bake the zucchini. When you’re ready to eat, simply top with pizza toppings and finish in the oven.

Store these zucchini pepperoni pizza bites in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Can you freeze baked zucchini pizza bites?
I would not freeze these, as sometimes zucchini can get mushy when it’s frozen and re-heated, especially when it’s the main component of a dish like this.
How to reheat keto mini pizza bites
Reheat mini pizza bites in a 350 degree F oven or in a hot skillet.
