Keto Zucchini Pizza Bites are one of my favorite Easy Zucchini Recipes. They're also the perfect way to satisfy your craving for pizza when you're following a low carb diet plan.
Let me show you how to make these with a little secret so they don't turn out soggy, because if you don't bake them just right, they will be soggy.

Keto zucchini pizza bites are the perfect low-carb side dish to satisfy your craving for pizza without all the calories and carbs from a traditional pizza.
They're great for lunch or to serve as a side dish for dinner. These pizza bites work great if you're looking for keto zucchini appetizers like my Bisquick Zucchini Cheddar Muffins or Zucchini Puffs.
You should definitely try my Parmesan Crusted Zucchini Sticks dipped in homemade marinara sauce for your next party!

Keto Zucchini Recipes
Zucchini or summer squash is the perfect substitute if you want to enjoy pasta while following a keto diet. It's filled with vitamins C, A and calcium but the main reason we love this green vegetable is because it's low in carbs.
There are only 3 grams of net carbs per 1 medium-sized zucchini. Zucchini can be enjoyed as noodles when you use my recipe for Grilled Steak with Zucchini Veggie Spirals or Stuffed Zucchini with Beef and Cheese.

- Add a little marinara sauce to the tops of each zucchini round.

It's never too soon to start collecting zucchini recipes! Thank you for visiting and for your fun party!

We do the same kind of thing with eggplant instead of zucchini! We also like to top our eggplant pizzas with something like onion and pepper, to add in even more veggies!
The zucchini intrigues me though, I bet it's just a bit crunchier than eggplant which sounds great!
Lois says
I've never tried eggplant pizzas! That sounds really yummy too. Thanks for visiting today Heather.
