Delicious mini zucchini pizzas!!!

Mini zucchini pizzas

This is another easy appetizer!!! So good and so healthy!!! You can top the pizzas however you like. I always use the same basic ingredients.

ingredients:

Basic ingredients:

– 1 zucchini, very well cleaned
– red pesto sauce (I don’t like the green pesto, it tastes to strong) or double concentrated tomato paste.
– ground black pepper
– gratex cheese au gratin or grated mozarella cheese

Toppings:

– white mushrooms, cut into very thin slices
– cherry tomatoes, cut into thin slices
– pine nuts
– basil leaves

– small pieces of good canned tuna fish
– some good quality anchovies, cut into little pieces
– capers

These are my 2 favourite toppings

directions:

Preheat the oven 200 degrees

– slice the zucchini (NOT peeled) into 3mm slices
– brush the red pesto on each slice
– cover with the toppings. I like to combine the mushrooms with the slice tomatoes, pine nuts and basil leaves. My other topping are the tuna with anchovies and capers.
– cover with the grated cheese

Put the mini pizzas in the oven for about 10 minutes. Remove and serve them. These are always a succes!!!

– 1/2 tablespoon ground sweet pepper (paprikapoeder, pimenton dulce)
– 1/2 tablespoon ground italian herbs

– sliced limes and capers to decorate
directions:
