These yummy zucchini pizza bites are one of our favorite snacks using Jar Goods tomato sauce! This time around, we decided to stack them up using a nonstick muffin pan. Zucchini is such a versatile vegetable that is so good for you.

To make this one of your go-to vegetarian zucchini recipes, replace the pepperoni with roasted red peppers and spinach leaves. Just be sure to include a good amount of tomato sauce and savory mozzarella cheese. You can always add your favorite pizza toppings

Zucchini pizza bites ingredient list

  • 36 slices of zucchini squash (1 large or 2 medium) 
  • 1 jar of Jar Goods Premium Classic Red tomato sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 24 pieces of pepperoni
  • 12 pieces of roasted red peppers (optional)
  • 12 large spinach leaves (optional)
  • Grated parmesan cheese (optional)

How to make yummy zucchini pizza bites

Spray a 12-cup nonstick muffin pan with your cooking spray of choice. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.

Place one zucchini slice in each muffin cup. Add a dollop or two of Jar Goods premium Classic Red tomato sauce. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, and then a piece or two of pepperoni. Repeat the previous steps two more times to create layers of zucchini, tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and pepperoni.

Top with a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese. 

Bake in the oven until golden brown and slightly crispy. You'll want to be sure the mozzarella cheese is melted. Cooking time is about 15 - 18 minutes. Remove the zucchini bites from oven and let cool.

Arrange these yummy pizza bites on a plate. Feel free to sprinkle with some Italian seasoning and red pepper (if you want a kick). Serve with a side bowl of warm tomato sauce to use for dipping.
