I love pizza, as well as zucchini. I have found that all of the Italian flavors in pizza goes very nicely on zucchini. I decided to combine my two loves, and this dish was born! This dish is a great low calorie side dish that is packed with fiber, and flavor! You will feel like you’re eating a big slice of pizza, and getting your veggies at the same time! Even my dad (who doesn’t like zucchini) raved about how good this dish was!
Serve this dish as a side with my Pizza Stuffed Chicken Breast for a Pizza-Tastic meal!

I’m a complete novice. Is there a special reason why you “steam” the zucchini in the skillet first? What does that do?
Dashing Dish said:
It helps cook the zucchini down a bit so its tender! :)
Kristin said:
when do you add the packet of sweetner?
Dashing Dish said:
if you’d like to add it, then add it where you would the other seasonings!

My zucchini pizza was really really watery! It tasted great, but was really watery…do you have any suggestions?? Thanks :)
Dashing Dish said:
Did you sautee the zucchini first until translucent, and NO water was left in the pan when done sauteeing? Thats the key :) It cooks out all the excess water out of the zucchini before baking it! :)

I made this on Sunday night along with the chicken parm meatballs and it was a huge hit! I just threw the sliced zucchini in the baking dish raw with the tomato sauce and seasonings, topped with the cheese and pepperoni and baked. It came out very delicious and I had one less pan to wash! Thanks for the inspiration Katie!

I made this the other night. My husband liked it (my parents who happened to be over for the evening) LOVED it. Mine came out a bit watery and I cooked out all the water as directed after I steamed the zucchini. Although I did that, I think I should have cooked a bit longer but I was starting to worry I was overcooking because it said “not translucent or mushy” and some of my zucchini was looking that way. Even though it was slightly watery, it tasted great ;)
Also, I may have overestimated what a medium zucchini was because I felt it had a bit too much zucchini in comparison to the sauce.
I just ate my leftovers for lunch and actually liked it reheated better! I think the zucchini took on even more of the pizza flavor. Thanks for the recipe! :)

I forgot to add the sweetener, but did add an extra couple of tablespoons of pizza sauce to the top of my serving (half the dish), as well as a pack of salmon – it was a perfect main course!! Wonderful!

Could you prepare this in a slow cooker? I would think it’s possible…I live in AL and don’t wanna heat up my whole apartment by using my oven (and it’s so much simpler to put things in a slow cooker).
Dashing Dish said:
i’m sure it would!
Laura Jade said:
is this better with the pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce?
Dashing Dish said:
either! :) but i’d use pizza if you have it
