Mini Zucchini Pizzas

1 large zucchini yields around 4 servings

These little pizzas are absolutely delicious and taste so much like real pizza that you won’t even miss the crisp crust.  They’re perfect for a party appetizer or to make as an after school snack with your kids.  My son, who had NEVER even come close to eating zucchini, can scarf down 20 of these in no time!  And the best part is that zucchini is a super healthy swap in for pizza crust – it’s packed with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and anti-cancer benefits!
