Ingredients:

  • 2 medium-sized zucchini
  • Olive oil (for brushing)
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Your favorite pizza toppings (e.g., sliced pepperoni, olives, bell peppers, mushrooms, etc.)
  • Italian seasoning or dried basil (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  • Preheat Your Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
  • Prepare the Zucchini:
    • Wash the zucchini and cut them into thick rounds, about 1/2-inch (1.27 cm) thick.
    • Place the zucchini rounds on a paper towel or kitchen towel to absorb any excess moisture.
  • Brush with Olive Oil:
    • Lightly brush both sides of each zucchini round with olive oil. This will help them become crispy in the air fryer.
  • Season the Zucchini:
    • Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper on each zucchini round.
  • Air Fry the Zucchini Rounds:
    • Place the seasoned zucchini rounds in a single layer in the EaZy MealZ Round Air Fry Crisper Basket. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
    • Air fry the zucchini rounds at 375°F (190°C) for about 6-8 minutes or until they start to become tender and slightly golden.
  • Add Pizza Toppings:
    • Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce onto each zucchini round.
    • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
    • Add your favorite pizza toppings to each round.
  • Air Fry Again:
    • Place the topped zucchini rounds back into the EaZy MealZ Round Air Fry Crisper Basket.
    • Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for an additional 4-6 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  • Garnish and Serve:
    • Remove the zucchini pizza bites from the air fryer and sprinkle them with Italian seasoning or dried basil for garnish.
  • Enjoy:
    • Serve your zucchini pizza bites hot as a tasty and low-carb snack or appetizer.
