Grilled Zucchini Pizza Slices

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 ball zucchini (they are a round zucchini. also called 8-ball zucchini)
• olive oil
• 1/4-1/2 cup pizza sauce
• 1/2 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 16 pepperoni slices

Recipe

• 1 oil the grill grates (i use a bit of oil on a paper towel), then preheat grill to medium-high. (if using a broiler, it should be reheated as well.).
• 2 cut zucchini into thick slices about 3/4 inch thick. (try to find an 8-ball zucchini to get round slices, you can cut the zucchini into lengthwise slices, depending on what shape the zucchini is. i wouldn't use enormous zucchini with large seeds for this recipe.).
• 3 grill the zucchini 7-8 minutes, or until there are some grill marks and it's starting to be tender. (if the zucchini has a side that's slightly larger, grill that first so it will be the "top.").
• 4 remove zucchini from the grill, putting them grilled-side on a plate.
• 5 spread each slice of zucchini with about 1 t red pizza sauce.
• 6 add cheese and pepperoni.
• 7 put zucchini slices back on the grill and cook 7-8 minutes more with the grill lid closed.
• 8 check them every few minutes to see when the cheese is melted and the toppings are lightly browned, especially if you're using a broiler. if you have a gas grill where you can regulate the heat, turn it to high when you put the pizza back on.
• 9 remove zucchini pizzas from grill and serve hot.
