Keto Zucchini Pizza Bites

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place the slices on a paper towel and sprinkle them with a little salt. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out some moisture.

  8. Sprinkle dried oregano and garlic powder evenly over the cheese-topped zucchini rounds.
  9. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the zucchini is tender.
  11. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
  12. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
  13. Serve warm as a delicious keto-friendly appetizer or snack.
