Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the inner flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch thick shell. Arrange the zucchini on the baking sheet, cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt.
- Spoon pizza sauce into each zucchini half. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, grated Parmesan cheese, and mini pepperoni slices.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the zucchini is tender. If desired, broil for an additional 2 minutes to brown the cheese.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh basil, if using. Serve immediately.
