These little Zucchini Mushroom Pepperoni Mini Pizza Appetizers are so flavorful. Delicious appetizers are always crowd-pleasing food. Guest really appreciate the thoughtfulness of catering to their hunger even before the main course arrives.
I personally love appetizers, especially very tasty ones like these ones. They are so hearty, healthy, and filling. The addition of an amazingly flavorful blend of Portabella mushrooms, vegetables, and herbs adds so much flavor to the homemade pizza sauce. They are absolutely delicious served warm! Enjoy! 🙂

I can’t describe how tasty they turned out as well! Reheats perfectly, and great for school or work lunch boxes.
They also taste amazing when cold and no reheating necessary. Give it try for yourself, and you will be making it over and over again!
Baked zucchini is flavorless, but it's amazing how it can be turned into a scrumptious, and such a flavorful recipe by adding any of your favorite topping or sauce.
