Zucchini pizza bites! I am actually having it for dinner tomorrow!

Calories: 124.8 • Fat: 5.7 g • Protein: 8.2 g • Carb: 10.4 g • Fiber: 3.0 g

Ingredients:

4 slices large zucchini 1/4" thick (or 1 medium zucchini cut on diagnal)
Spray olive oil (I used my Misto)
2 tbsp pizza sauce
1/4 cup part skim mozzarella
salt and pepper


Directions:

Cut zucchini about 1/4 inch thick. Spray both side lightly with oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil or grill for about 2 minute on each side. Top with sauce and cheese and broil for an additional minute or two. (Careful not to burn cheese)

You could make oven baked zucchini sticks with dill-ranch dip.

To make the zucchini sticks, first preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Next, slice two zucchinis length wise, and then slice both halves in half horizontally. Then, quarter each quarter vertically to make sticks. Next, get two medium sized shallow bowls. Fill one bowl with three beaten egg whites. Fill the other bowl with a half of a cup of flour, three tablespoons of corn meal, salt, and pepper. Dip each stick in the egg whites, and then completely covered them in the flour and cornmeal mixture. Place the uncooked zucchini sticks on a baking sheet, and bake them for 15 minutes.

To make the dill-ranch dip, get a medium-sized mixing bowl. Combine half of an 8oz container of light sour cream, a tablespoon of dried dill weed, a half of a tablespoon of seasoned salt, a teaspoon of onion powder, and a teaspoon of pepper.

Enjoy!

I use zucchini in place of pasta. I make large ribbons out of it with a peeler (skin and all). Or, Ill take my titan tools and make faux noodles out of it.

I also use the ribbons for making lasagna as well.

If it's a large Zucchini try Stuffing it!

Cut the Zucchinin in half lengthwise.. then scoop out the center to make a hallow place for your stuffing.

Take what was scooped out and place it into a bowl- you will use it!

Brown up some Ground Turkey, Onions, Garlic and any seasonings you'd like.. Add some Diced Tomatoes and their Juice (canned)
You could do any kind of Canned Tomato Really.. Then add in the Scooped out Zucchini!

Mix all this together and then fill each side of the Zucchini- Bake for 40 mins or so covered with Foil.

You could also add some cooked Rice to the "stuffing mix"

Thanks so much for this.... will try for sure.

This is my daughter's favorite veggie. A staple in our house. I usually just saute them with olive or canola oil, onions, peppers and mushrooms. Sometimes I will sprinkle Mrs. Dash just to flavor it once in a while.

I found this great recipe for Parmesan Zucchini Strips

I usually don't like zucchni other than in breads or cakes, but this is delicious! Even my three-year old grandson eats this without complaining.

I make this all the time and my daughter loves it:

1 large can/jar of drained mushroom bits & stems or sliced mushrooms
3 cups of zucchini sliced thin w/ skin
1 cup busquick
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
2 tbsp. fresh parsley chopped [or some dried]
1/2 tsp. salt
or 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
large dash pepper
1/2 cup oil [olive or vegetable]
4 eggs slightly beaten
dash garlic powder

Mix all together, put in greased pan [12x9x2]. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes until set. Can add pepperoni or sausage.

Is w/ skin with or without????:happy:
What is busquick?

With skin and bisquick is like a baking powder usually used for pancakes.

Forgot to mention, for a once in a while treat, I slide it, soak it in slightly salted water, then drain. I beat an egg. Then add spices to a little bit of instant mashed potatoes. Dredge the slices in egg then coat with instant mashed potatoes. Use nonstick spray on a pan and "fry" into a healthy version of the fried zucchini appetizers they serve in restaurants. Make a dip with NF sour cream or greek yogurt or LF cottage cheese mixed with a little red pepper flakes and/or garlic powder.

Most of the time, I try to just eat whole food and enjoy it the way it is, but having a few treats like this in my repertoire saves me when I'm feeling deprived.
