Grilled Zucchini Pepperoni Pizzas
Grilled zucchini, topped with savory sauce, stretchy cheese, smoky pepperoni, and parmesan cheese. Just 5 ingredients for this incredible dish!
These are the greatest invention every, and they’re gluten-free! Plus, the layers of flavor go on forever. First, there’s the grilled zucchini base, then, there’s the tomato sauce (which is store-bought, so you can choose your favorite), then mozarrella, which is buttery and mild, the smoky pepperoni, and the parmesan cheese, which is salty and nutty.
Just 10-minutes in the oven and these pizzas are ready to serve! After just 10 minutes, the sauce bubbles, the cheese melts, and the corners of the pepperoni get perfectly toasted.
I served this as a side dish, but it clearly makes a stellar, gluten-free main dish and fun party appetizer! Make a little or a lot, they’re so easy!
