Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Knife
  • Oven
  • Small spoon or brush

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 1/4 cup marinara or pizza sauce
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp mini pepperoni slices optional
  • 1/2 tsp olive oil
  • pinch dried oregano
  • pinch garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Wash and slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch rounds—no need to peel! Lay the slices flat on the baking sheet.
  • Brush each slice lightly with olive oil. Then sprinkle with a little garlic powder and dried oregano if using.
  • Add a small spoonful of marinara or pizza sauce to each zucchini round. Don’t worry if it spreads a little!
  • Top with shredded mozzarella cheese. A pinch on each slice is perfect.
  • Add optional toppings like a mini pepperoni or finely chopped veggies.
  • Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let cool before serving. For younger babies, mash the zucchini bite gently or cut into small pieces.

Notes

Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Freeze on a tray, then transfer to a bag for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for best results.
Baby-Friendly Tips: For babies under 1, skip the pepperoni and choose a no-salt sauce. You can also slice the zucchini thinner for a softer texture or mash into small pieces.
Allergy-Friendly Substitutions: Use dairy-free shredded cheese for a dairy-free option. This recipe is naturally egg-free and gluten-free.
Nutrition Boosters: Sprinkle ground flaxseed or chia seeds under the cheese, or add finely chopped spinach or lentils for extra nutrients.
Parent Tip: Call them “pizza coins” or “mini veggie pies” to make them even more appealing to your toddler!
