Ingredients

3-4 zucchini, 8-10 inches long

1 tsp. Spike Seasoning 

1 tsp. Italian Herb Blend 

about 3/4 lb. grated mozzarella

about 20 slices pepperoni, cut in half

Directions

Preheat broiler and put rack into middle position or about 4 inches away from broiler. Wash zucchini and cut off ends. Cut into slices about 3/8 inches wide, using a mandoline if you have one. It’s important that all zucchini slices are same width so they can cook evenly. Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick spray. Cover baking sheet completely with zucchini rounds, putting them as close together as possible. Sprinkle each zucchini piece with Spike Seasoning and Italian Herb Blend Completely cover top of zucchini with grated cheese. Broil until cheese is starting to melt, about 3 minutes. Cut pepperoni slices in half while the cheese is starting to melt, then sprinkle the cut pepperoni slices over the partially melted cheese. Broil about 3-4 minutes more, or until the pepperoni is slightly crisped and the cheese is starting to brown. Serve immediately.
