Indulge in the delight of eating both day and night with these delicious and slimming Zucchini Mini Pizzas. Using zucchini as a base instead of traditional pizza dough offers a healthier, low-carb option that still satisfies your craving for pizza. Packed with flavorful toppings like seasoned minced meat and cheese, these mini pizzas are not only easy to make but also perfect for any meal or snack!

Ingredients:

• 1 large zucchini
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• 300 grams of minced meat (beef, chicken, or turkey)
• 1 small carrot, grated
• 1 egg
• 100 grams of sour cream or plain yogurt
• 1 teaspoon mustard
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• Dill, chopped (to taste)
• 100 grams of cheese, grated (mozzarella or cheddar works well)

Directions:

1. Prepare the Zucchini:
   • Slice the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Lay them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and lightly sprinkle with salt to help draw out excess moisture.
2. Prepare the Meat Topping:
   • In a bowl, combine the minced meat, grated carrot, minced garlic, chopped dill, and black pepper. Mix in the egg, sour cream (or yogurt), and mustard until everything is well combined. This will be your pizza topping.
3. Assemble the Mini Pizzas:
   • Pat the zucchini slices dry with a paper towel to remove any moisture that has been drawn out. Top each zucchini round with a spoonful of the meat mixture, spreading it to cover the surface.
4. Bake:
   • Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the tray with the zucchini mini pizzas into the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through.
5. Add Cheese and Finish Cooking:
   • Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top of each mini pizza and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Serve:
   • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. These zucchini mini pizzas can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or part of a main meal.

Conclusion:

Zucchini Mini Pizzas provide a fantastic way to enjoy a lighter version of pizza without sacrificing flavor. They’re quick to prepare, delightful to eat, and perfect for maintaining a slim figure while indulging in your favorite flavors. Try this recipe out for your next party, family dinner, or as a special treat just for yourself, and enjoy the guilt-free goodness!
