Zucchini Pizza Bite Tips

Any way you top them or serve them, this healthy take on pizza is going to be a sure-fire favorite. Like my English muffin pizzas, they are totally individual and customizable. Perfect for picky eaters!

Zucchini: Slice your zucchini all the same width, about 1/4″ thickness. This way your pizzas will cook at the same rate.
Reduce the Water: Zucchini holds a lot of water. Take a paper towel and dab the slices before placing in the air fryer. This will help the toppings stick and help it get a bit of crust.
Variation: Create Zucchini Pizza Boats by slicing the zucchini length ways. Scoop out the center that’s full of seeds, leaving plenty of flesh inside. Top with your favorite toppings. Increase the cook time by 3-4 minutes.
Sauces: The base of most pizzas is marinara, but you can get creative. Try using BBQ, Alfredo, Buffalo or even Pesto for your sauce.
Toppings: The sky is the limit here. Top the zucchini pizzas with your favorite combinations. Sausage, peppers, onion, ham, pineapple, chicken, Swiss cheese, cheddar cheese, blue cheese, mushrooms, and I could go on. Have a bunch of toppings available and let everyone make their own.

Storing and Reheating Zucchini Pizzas

These are definitely best eaten right away but can make these ahead, and storing them is as easy as it is making them. Store leftovers in an air-tight container for up to 3 days. I do not recommend freezing.

Reheat your individual pizzas in the air fryer at 400 degrees for 1-2 minutes. This will keep the outside from getting overly soggy and the toppings hot and melty. You are going to love this!
