Grilled Zucchini Pizza Slices
Ready In: 25 mins
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 ball zucchini (they are a round zucchini. Also called 8-ball zucchini)
- olive oil
- 1⁄4-1⁄2 cup pizza sauce
- 1⁄2 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 16 pepperoni slices
Directions
- Oil the grill grates (I use a bit of oil on a paper towel), then preheat grill to medium-high. (If using a broiler, it should be reheated as well.).
- Cut zucchini into thick slices about 3/4 inch thick. (try to find an 8-Ball zucchini to get round slices, You can cut the zucchini into lengthwise slices, depending on what shape the zucchini is. I wouldn't use enormous zucchini with large seeds for this recipe.).
- Grill the zucchini 7-8 minutes, or until there are some grill marks and it's starting to be tender. (If the zucchini has a side that's slightly larger, grill that first so it will be the "top.").
- Remove zucchini from the grill, putting them grilled-side on a plate.
- Spread each slice of zucchini with about 1 T red pizza sauce.
- Add cheese and pepperoni.
- Put zucchini slices back on the grill and cook 7-8 minutes more with the grill lid closed.
- Check them every few minutes to see when the cheese is melted and the toppings are lightly browned, especially if you're using a broiler. If you have a gas grill where you can regulate the heat, turn it to high when you put the pizza back on.
- Remove zucchini pizzas from grill and serve hot.
