How to Make Zucchini Bites

  1. Preheat your oven's broiler or toaster oven broiler.
  2. Slice zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  3. Spread a thin layer of softened margarine (about 1 teaspoon total) evenly over each zucchini slice.
  4. Sprinkle generously with garlic powder (about 1/2 teaspoon total, or to taste).
  5. Top each zucchini slice with 1-2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  6. Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
