Looking for a healthy alternative to takeout pizza, without the fuss of making a crust? This mini zucchini pizza bites recipe should do the trick! It has all the flavors you love in pizza, baked on nutritious slices of zucchini.
Fathead pizza or even zucchini pizza crust are great and all, but making the crust does take some effort. These mini keto pizza bites are ready in just 20 minutes, with much less work. They’re very similar to eggplant pizzas, but smaller.
Top keto pizza bites with sauce, cheese, Italian seasoning, and pepperoni or your favorite pizza toppings. They make a great snack, appetizer, or light lunch that everyone will love. With classic pizza flavors, even those that aren’t big fans of low carb eating or vegetables will enjoy these. They were approved by my carb-loving kids and parents!
How To Make Zucchini Pizza Bites
This is the best zucchini pizza bites recipe for many reasons! It tastes delicious, is packed with veggies, AND takes just 20 minutes to make. Here’s how we make them:
- Roast zucchini rounds. Arrange zucchini slices in a single layer on a prepared baking sheet. Spray with avocado oil spray and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until just crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
- Top your mini zucchini pizzas. Top each slice with marinara sauce…
Followed by mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, and pepperoni quarter slices.
- Bake. Bake your mini pizza bites for about 8-10 minutes, until cheese is melted and zucchini is soft. Broil for 1-2 minutes to brown cheese. Serve immediately!

Keto Pizza Bites Storage Instructions
Can you make keto pepperoni pizza bites ahead?
Because these take just 20 minutes from start to finish, I recommend making them fresh. If you wanted to prep a few things, you could slice the zucchini, or even pre-bake the zucchini. When you’re ready to eat, simply top with pizza toppings and finish in the oven.
How to store mini zucchini pizza bites
Store these zucchini pepperoni pizza bites in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Can you freeze baked zucchini pizza bites?
I would not freeze these, as sometimes zucchini can get mushy when it’s frozen and re-heated, especially when it’s the main component of a dish like this.
How to reheat keto mini pizza bites
Reheat mini pizza bites in a 350 degree F oven or in a hot skillet.

Love it. Have been making weekly for a yr. I don’t spray with oil or sprinkle with herbs, it’s all in my home made sauce. I’m sure I use too much sauce and pepperoni, and we eat more but it’s working for us.
