Speedy Pizza Rings Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 15 min.

Yield: 10-12 Servings

5 10 15

Ingredients

2 medium zucchini (about 2-inch diameter), cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 can (8 ounces) pizza sauce
1 package (3 ounces) sliced pepperoni
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Sliced jalapeno peppers and ripe olives, optional

Directions

Arrange zucchini in a single layer on a large microwave-safe plate coated with cooking spray. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 2-1/4 minutes. Spread 1 teaspoon pizza sauce on each zucchini round; top each with a slice of pepperoni.
Heat, uncovered, for 1-1/2 minutes. Sprinkle each with cheese, jalapenos and olives if desired. Microwave 30-50 seconds longer or until cheese is melted. Yield: 10-12 servings.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
