Grilled Zucchini Pizza Bites

The theme for this month’s Groovy Gourmets challenge are canapés. A canapé is a small, prepared and usually decorative food, held in the fingers and often eaten in one bite. Crackers or small slices of bread or toast or puff pastry or vegetables, serve as the base for canapé often topped with cheese, sauce or relish.  

Zucchini pizza bites are a delicious and healthy way to satisfy the longing for pizza. These zucchini bites also make a great evening snack for kids. Choose a large zucchini for making these bites, but if you have a small zucchini cut them diagonally. I topped with corn kernels but you can add capsicums, tomato and olives or just have them plain with pizza sauce and cheese.
