Broiled Zucchini with Mozzarella and Pepperoni is a tasty kid-friendly zucchini dish! When my sister Val introduced me to broiling zucchini with cheese, I was skeptical at first, but after trying it, I fell in love with the delicious taste of the broiled zucchini topped with cheese.

When my sister and I decided to update the recipe with better photos, we decided to give it a pizza-inspired twist. The result was this broiled zucchini recipe with Mozzarella and pepperoni.

The addition of Italian herb seasoning to the zucchini, along with a few slices of pepperoni after broiling the cheese, was a stroke of genius. The combination of slightly crispy zucchini slices topped with melted cheese and pepperoni was a hit with both of us.

This recipe is perfect for a quick snack, an easy dinner, or even a simple lunch. It has become a popular zucchini recipe on Kalyn’s Kitchen, especially during zucchini season. Today, I’m reminding you about this incredibly easy and flavorful way to prepare zucchini with pizza flavors!
