Mini Zucchini Pizzas

A few weeks into January, and I'm guessing more than a few of you made resolutions to eat better, lose weight, and so on. I started back in October, and one of my bigger challenges has been game day snacking.   It's very hard to stick to your guns when the people around you are inhaling plates of nachos, and other delicious things.  My solution was to find delicious things of my own, like these Mini Zucchini Pizzas.

Now, I have to say, it's a pet peeve of mine calling things pizza that aren't.  Pizza is my favorite food in the world.  Zucchini will never be pizza, cauliflower will never be pizza.   But this has the saucy, cheesy, pepperoni goodness of pizza, along with a nice healthy platform of zucchini.  

I briefly considered swapping out the pepperoni for turkey pepperoni, but in the end I didn't.  These would also be fantastic with eggplant, and for an extra splurge, you could always egg white wash, breadcrumb and bake the zucchini.
