Zucchini Pizza Bites

A bite of pizza atop zucchini slices is the perfect low carb snack.

Nick did the keto diet last summer and when we decided to have a junk food/fried food night, I was at a loss for what to make that wasn't breaded. This was an easy pick that fit the low carb category and was relatively inexpensive to make. I love zucchini, so I was game for this recipe. No, these aren't bagel bites, however, they are still delicious little pizza treats.

This Grilled Lemon Garlic Zucchini from Damn Delicious is a side dish high up on my to-make list because you cannot go wrong with grilled zucchini. One of my favorite stuffed zucchini recipes is this Bolognese Stuffed Zucchini with Pesto.
