Ingredients:

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.
