Love this recipe
Loved this recipe! A self proclaimed zucchini hater loved these mini pizzas. I only had sharp cheddar cheese on hand to use for this recipe, but followed the recipe otherwise. They were delicious!
Made it, loved it. I used a very large zucchini so peeled it and picked out any hard seeds. I also used olive oil instead of butter. Otherwise followed the recipe. Whole family enjoyed it.
We didn’t change anything with this recipe. It was delicious! Definitely a keeper!!! We will make this again!
We love this and never would have thought of it on our own. Thank you!
This is a great recipe for my particular low carb way of eating. I had it tonight along with grilled hot dogs. My biggest problem was dropping a few through the grill grates. The timing was perfect.
Great loved it!!!
Made these as a starter for a meal with friends. grilled in oven, not bbq weather hear at the moment. Every last piece was eaten, what more can you asked for.
I made a few changes based on the recommendations of others. Since the recipe calls for the butter to be spread on the zucchini, I used 2 tbsp of melted butter and 1 garlic clove. I chopped the garlic clove and stirred it around in the butter for a few minutes. This was more than enough butter and garlic. In addition, I added mozzarella and parmesan cheese to the top of the zucchini before adding pepperoni to half of the zucchini pieces. We will definitely be making this again and again.
Added 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp basil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp black pepper, used marinated mozzarella balls sliced, added fresh sliced yellow tomato, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1 slice of raw red onion diced, Francesco Renaldi tomato sauce
Fantastic! Great way to use zuchinni and great (healthier) alternative to pizza. Even the kids loved them! Wow!
Loved it. Important to grill and turn it the three times. Used olive oil instead of butter.
These were great! I think next time I am going to slice it a little smaller than 1 in. thick because the pizza sauce to zucchini ratio was a tiny bit off, but that was operator error. So thank you very much for the recipe!
Because of the huge seeds I scooped out most of my pieces were boat- shaped. If the piece was thick enough I trimmed the back to cut down on cooking time. I brushed with olive oil and broiled for 2 minutes on each side with garlic being added for the second side. I then brushed with pasta sauce, sprinkled with Italian seasoning, added a small amount of grated cheese and placed a few basil leaves on the slices. I baked it at 450 for 12 minutes. Delicious.
My kids helped make these and everybody loved them.
Turned out amazing! Broiled 2 minutes either side. Then another two with all the toppings.
We had the big zucchini that needed to be fixed into something, then I see in an email “Attack of the Giant Zucchini” hence this review. The family liked them. The only problem was the seeds, removed them or spit them out. We used the broiler since we don’t have a grill.
Absolutely Delicious! Will be making this again that’s for sure. It’s become a new favorite.
These were excellent. What I did is broil each side for 5 minutes after I brushed them with the garlic butter sauce. Then I added pizza sauce, mozzarella sauce and pepperoni and baked at 400 for aprox. 12 minutes. I will be making these again soon.
Our grill crashed right before we could make these, so we did them in the oven! 450, 10 minutes each side, then top with toppings. We also remade this recipe with Johnsonville Italian sausage added – YUM. Thanks for sharing!!
Great idea! I had all the basic ingredients, but had to improvise with this one. Instead of grilling, I baked it. Instead of tomato sauce, I put a Creamy Vodka sauce. Instead of Mozzarella, I added Parmigiano Reggiano. It was still pretty darn good. Yum!
