These zucchini rounds are topped with homemade tomato sauce and melted mozzarella, creating zucchini “pizza,” as my kids like to call it. Inspired by leftover roasted zucchini and homemade tomato sauce, I was lucky to have mozzarella on hand — and voila! It's a quick and easy main dish that I paired with a soup from the freezer and fruit salad for dessert.
Often, when I pull together leftovers, I can’t recreate the exact dish because I don’t have the same leftovers again. But this dish made it onto the family menu. Now, I purposely roast extra zucchini so I can make zucchini pizzas again — which was voted an acceptable way to eat zucchini at my house.
Here's how you can make this dish from scratch, but when you have leftover baked or roasted zucchini in hand, it's fast to make. Just add sauce and cheese and bake!
You can slice the zucchini in rounds or in half — however you slice it, this dish is sure to be a delight!
