Ingredients
Serves 4 (about 60 bites)

2 large zucchini, sliced into ¼-inch thick rounds
⅓ cup tomato sauce
⅓ cup shredded mozzarella
2 tablespoons olive oil
Fine grain sea salt
Ground pepper
Fresh basil

Directions

Preheat oven to 380°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly coat with olive oil both sides of zucchini slices and arrange on prepared baking sheet.
Season with salt and pepper and bake in the oven for 2 minutes. Take out of the oven, flip zucchini slices with the help of a fork (be careful not to burn your fingers) and bake in the oven for another 2 minutes.
Take out of the oven and top with ½ teaspoon of tomato sauce and a pinch of shredded mozzarella. Turn on the broiler and bake for an additional minute, until mozzarella is melted but not burned.
Top with fresh basil (or any other topping of your liking) before serving.
