We planted our garden a few weeks ago. And, I’m really looking forward to getting some fresh vegetables over the summer.

I’m also looking forward to taking some time away from work and the blog. So, you may see fewer posts from me.

The warm season doesn’t last long in New England so I want to enjoy it while I can. We will also be doing some travels.

One of my favorite ways to use fresh veggies is to make mini pizzas. Today, I’m sharing a super easy recipe for zucchini pizza bites.

I’ve seen similar recipes posted like this one. However, I like to up the flavor with pepperoni, double cheese, and black olive slices.

You can dress up these tasty little pizza bites however you like. Pick your favorite pizza toppings, just make sure they will fit on the small veggie slices.

If I don’t have any homemade sugar free pizza sauce on hand, I just use fresh tomato slices. You can see that in my eggplant pizza rounds recipe.

We typically have tomatoes growing along with zucchini in the garden. So, using a small tomato slice on these zucchini pizza bites is perfect!

These mini pizzas also make great appetizers for your summer parties. You can prepare a bunch the day before and heat them up before serving.

My daughter does not like the zucchini skin. But, she eats these up when I peel the skin fist. And, they look more like regular mini pizzas without the green.

I’ve been making zucchini pizza bites for years. It’s such a simple recipe, I wasn’t going to post it on the blog.

However, there are so many people just starting out on low carb, they may not have known. That’s why I finally decided it was time to share.

Low Carb Yum is all about making easy low carb recipes. And, these mini pizzas with zucchini slices as the crust certainly fit that theme.

Of course, there are some more complicated recipes on the site. But, those are the ones I don’t make that often.

Do you like to make mini pizzas using veggie slices? What’s your favorite low carb vegetable to use?
