Grilled Mini Zucchini Pizzas

College football is right around the corner! So we are preparing by trying out some old game-day favorites with a new twist. Well, a healthier twist. We have a good one to share with you today – Mini Pizzas (on zucchini)! This is a perfect game-day food because it was quick and easy to make and hardly made any mess to clean up.

You’ll see below that we used a grill pan to give our zucchini slices some grill marks (for looks and taste). If you don’t have a grill pan or grill, feel free to pre-cook your zucchini slices in the oven for about 5 to 7 minutes until they just start to get nice and tender.
