Healthy Pizza Bites

Healthy bite-sized pizza bites that you can whip up in minutes. 

To get around the calorie-punch that normal pizza gives, try using courgette slices for a healthier alternative to the base. High in fibre and water, and lower in carbohydrate and salt, it's a super easy way to vegetate your pizza plate. 

Additional Tip: Use a strong cheese such as feta instead of cheddar so you don't need to use so much. 

Mini Courgette Pizza Bites

Makes 12-15 bites

What You'll Need:

1 courgette/zucchini

1/2 jar tomato pasta sauce

1/2 onion

1/2 a pepper/capsicum (colour of your choice)

50g feta cheese

1 chicken breast (optional)

The How-To:

1. Slice the onion and cook over a low heat until transparent (~5 min)

2. Chop the chicken (if using) into small cubes and add in with the onion

3. When the chicken is cooked, pour the tomato sauce over the stir through, and remove from heat. 

4. Slice courgette into discs about 1/2cm thick

5. Scoop a heaped teaspoon of onion/chicken/tomato mix onto each slice of courgette

6. Add a small piece of pepper/capsicum on top 

7. Top with a small piece of feta

8. Place on a baking tray and grill until warmed through and cheese turns golden brown (feta will not melt much).

9. Enjoy!

Note: Be sure to let cool for at least 5 mins before eating as they can get very hot!
