HEIRLOOM VEGETABLES

I buy most of my fruit and veggies from Marys Garden, a local grower near to where I live. A lot of the time the product is ”heirloom” which means that many of the vegetables grown have different traits compared to what you would usually find in the supermarket. The vegetables have been naturally pollinated and do not use any gas ripening or hybrid seeds which are often used to mass-produce food. Buying heirloom vegetables results in a tastier, albeit ‘quirky’ looking vegetable.

So where am I going with this you say?

Well, the zucchini I bought was massive! I really didn’t know what to do with it as it was too big to spiralse. That’s when I had the idea to make pizza bites out of it. Now, my pizza bites were of all different shapes and sizes as the zucchini was a bit wonky. But if you use a store-bought zucchini, then it is roughly the same thickness all the way through, so you will be able to create even bite-sized mini pizzas and this will look great on a serving platter as finger food for a party.

BITE-SIZED FINGER FOOD FOR A PARTY

WHAT YOU WILL NEED FOR THIS KETO SNACK

You will need an evenly sized zucchini for this recipe so that all your pizza shapes end up roughly the same size. This doesn’t affect the taste but effects the cooking time and presentation of your platter if you are displaying them for guests.

For this recipe, I used a mandolin to slice my zucchini. This was to ensure that all slices were of even thickness so that they cooked together all at the same time.

If you are looking for a mandolin then here is where I would recommend shopping from as they have lots of sales throughout the year… Take me to buy some new kitchen gadgets!

HOW TO MAKE ZUCCHINI PIZZA BITES

Slice the zucchini into 1cm thick slices using a sharp knife or mandoline and layer them onto a lined baking tray and drizzle with olive oil.

Spread the tomato paste evenly over the zucchini slices, followed by the minced garlic, tomatoes and vegan cheese.

Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until tender.
