These Low Calorie Zucchini Pizza Bites are just 36 calories per serving and come with 3 different flavors (traditional, Alfredo, and pesto pizza flavors). The serving size is 4 pizza bites (which is equal to 1/2 a zucchini) and I based the nutrition off the highest calorie flavor. If you’re serving this as an appetizer, you’ll be pleased to know each zucchini pizza bite is just 9 calories. But I figured no one could eat just one.

Nutrition and Calories in Zucchini Pizza Bites
Low Sodium Tips: Make your own sauce (there are recipes for all 3 above) and omit any salt called for. Also, swap out the pepperoni for a vegetable (mushrooms are good) as they are high in sodium.
I didn’t know how many I should note per serving. So the nutrition is based off 4 pizza bites, which is equal to 1/2 zucchini. Each skinny zucchini pizza bite is just 9 calories.
