Notes

The larger zucchinis are much better for placing the ingredients on top.
If using medium sized zucchinis, cut them on a diagonal to create a larger surface for placing the toppings on.
Customize the toppings by using your favorite pizza toppings. Experimenting can be fun!
Include some black pepper for additional spice.
Zucchini pizza bites are definitely best served hot and fresh, but can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
