The ingredients for Zucchini "Pizzas" are:

7 ounces Queso cheese (a Mexican cheese. Can also use mozzarella) (7 Proteins)
5 ounces sharp cheddar, 2% and shredded (5 Proteins)
Maybe a teaspoon Pizza seasoning (1 teaspoon EACH rosemary powder, oregano powder, onion powder, garlic powder ? Mixed well!)
3 medium zucchini
12 pieces Canadian Bacon (2 and ? = 1 protein, therefore, this amount is approximately 5 proteins) sliced in half.

Here is how you make Zucchini "Pizzas":

Slice zucchini into slices about ? inch thick. Salt. Let sit to ?weep? for 30-45 minutes. Rinse salt off, pat dry.After zucchini is prepared:Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. On oiled baking sheet (I use a Pampered Chef stone) lay out the slices of zucchini. Sprinkle with pizza seasoning. Layer on Canadian bacon (sliced in half and then laid so fits the zucchini slices) ? use 2 halves, caso cheese, and cheddar cheese. Sprinkle with pizza seasoning.Bake for 15 minutes until eggplant and zucchini are soft, and cheeses are browned. Makes 6 servings. I counted these as 3 proteins and 1 veggie. ALTERNATIVES ? Changes protein and veggie count:Can use pepperoni instead of Canadian bacon. Pepperoni would go on top.Can sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before layer on bacon or cheese.Can add a thin slice of tomato (ROMA is best) between base and cheese. If use tomatoes, can use eggplant as base. Without tomatoes, I think the eggplant has an unpleasant aftertaste.Can use fresh spices.Can use chicken chunks instead of bacon ? would go on top of the cheeses.Serving Size: 6 servings of about 3 proteins each and 1 veggie eachNumber of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user NRVLAURA.
