Zucchini Pizza Slices - Weekend Recipe

Something a bit different for the Baked Items Theme this month is this item you can make as an appetizer or a main dish.  Being winter time, you can use any summer squash that you can get at the grocery, or if you want use eggplant.  You can make these for the Big Game coming up next week.

Zucchini Pizza Slices

• 1 large zucchini (about 11 ounces), cut diagonally into 1/4 inch-slices
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1/3 cup pizza sauce
• 3/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup miniature pepperoni slices
• Minced fresh basil

Directions

Preheat broiler. Arrange zucchini in a single layer on a greased baking sheet. Broil 3-4 in. from heat just until crisp-tender, 1-2 minutes per side.

Sprinkle zucchini with salt and pepper; top with sauce, cheese and pepperoni. Broil until cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with basil.
