Alright, on this fine Tuesday I did something I have never dared to do..use veggies to make a pizza. \u00a0I found this recipe on Pinterest that is very intriguing to say the least: zucchini pizza boats. \u00a0Think a regular pizza but flour dough substituted with zucchini. \u00a0Personally, I was skeptical, but if I like zucchini bread then what about and why not zucchini pizza? \u00a0It was a must try. \u00a0And substituting carbs for a veggie..you know what that means. \u00a0Yup, a pizza that is easy on the waistline.<\/p>\n

I’ll reveal my initial reaction in my overall thoughts! \u00a0But, anyways to say the least this recipe is relatively easy and only requires 4 ingredients (a fifth is optional). \u00a0It is also dirt cheap to make for one person.<\/p>\n

Overall cost: $3.50<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/p>\n

-1 zucchini (.75 cents)<\/p>\n

-1 cup of marinara sauce (.75 cents)<\/p>\n

-1.5 cups of mozzarella cheese ($1)<\/p>\n

-1\/2 cup of pepperoni \u00a0($1)<\/p>\n

-olive oil and other spices (not necessary but optional)<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/p>\n

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees<\/p>\n

2. Cut zucchini in half horizontally<\/p>\n

3. If wanting to use olive oil or spices like garlic, mix them together and spread on zucchini halves<\/p>\n

6. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

Overall Thoughts:<\/p>\n

LOVE THIS. \u00a0It’s a win win situation: cheap, healthy and absolutely delicious. \u00a0The pictures really don’t do justice at all. \u00a0The zucchini makes for a nice, crunchy texture. \u00a0BEWARE..although these are very good, they are also very messy. \u00a0Keep those napkins close. \u00a0But, all in all a guilt-free pizza. \u00a0What’s not to love?<\/p>\n

Happy cooking!<\/p>\n
