Mozzarella cheese, shredded

Mini pepperoni slices

Italian seasoning

Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions:

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare Zucchini:

Wash the zucchinis and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rounds.

Lay the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Lightly brush both sides of zucchini with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Bake Zucchini: Bake the zucchini rounds for about 5 minutes to soften them.

Add Toppings:

Remove the baking sheet from the oven.

Spread a small spoonful of marinara sauce on each zucchini round.

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Add a mini pepperoni slice on each zucchini round (or more, depending on your preference).

Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the tops for added flavor.

Bake Again: Place the baking sheet back in the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish and Serve:

Remove from the oven and let them cool for a minute.

Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

Serve warm as a snack or appetizer.
