Easy Mini Zucchini Pizza Bites
Pizza bites bring so much nostalgia to so many. What kid doesn’t think they’ve won the lottery when mom would bring home the classic frozen pizza bites?
These mini zucchini pizza bites are a healthy twist on the classic replacing the crust with fresh zucchini for a fun way to feed your family extra veggies! Easily use any toppings of your choice to make these appealing to anyone in the family.
The Ingredients for Easy Mini Zucchini Pizza Bites
- Zucchini. I’d recommend choosing a thicker zucchini so you have more surface space for toppings.
- Marinara sauce. You can use nomato sauce for AIP.
- Shredded mozzarella cheese. Use this for AIP/dairy-free.
- Italian chomps stick. Sliced thin similarly to pepperoni.
- Parsley.
How to make Easy Mini Zucchini Pizza Bites
- Preheat the oven to 400 F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the zucchini. Wash the zucchini well and slice off the ends. Slice the zucchini in 1/4″ sliced (you should have about 20-24 slices).
- Top the zucchini. Add the zucchini to the baking sheet and top each zucchini slice with a large spoonful of sauce. Cover the sauce with a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Finally, top with 2-3 slices of beef slices.
- Bake in the oven. Transfer to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted.
- Serve topped with chopped parsley.
How do you make the mini pepperoni/sausage?
Slice up an Italian chomps stick for a nightshade and preservative-free grass-fed meat topping on these zucchini bites!
How do you make zucchini pizza bites without cheese?
These are still tasty without the cheese, however, you can easily make an AIP mozzarella cheese to use!
Can you make this recipe ahead of time? How do you reheat it?
You can! Simply reheat it by placing it under the broiler for a few minutes to reheat!
How long do these keep in the fridge?
2-3 days.

Made this for my toddler and he loved it! I did uncured pepperoni and it worked great. Thank you!

So happy to hear that!!
Very good recipe! I used Buffalo milk mozzarella and they were delicious! My 5 year old, who normally will not touch zucchini, ate it up and asked for seconds and thirds! This recipe is a keeper, especially now that zucchini season is coming up and sometimes I don’t know what to do with all of the zucchini I get in my CSA boxes.

So glad it was such a hit!!
The Beef chomps sticks have both pepper and chili powder, which are a possible no on AIP.
I was super excited thinking I found a source of beef sticks.
I like the Italian Style Beef Chomps sticks that don’t have have pepper or red pepper!
