Zucchini Pizza Bites

Ingredients

• 1 extra-large zucchini (total weight about 1 lb.), unpeeled
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt (for salting)
• Olive oil spray (make your own using a spray bottle)
• � cup marinara sauce (Rao's is excellent and and no added sugar)
• 2 oz sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 oz Spanish chorizo, thinly sliced (Palacio is excellent and has a clean ingredients list)

Directions

1. Slice the zucchini into �-inch-thick slices. Place on a large plate and sprinkle with the salt. Allow to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray it with olive oil spray.
3. Rinse the zucchini slices in a colander and pat dry with paper towels. Spread on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray with olive oil spray. Bake 10 minutes on each side, until tender and lightly browned.
4. Spoon a little marinara sauce on top of each zucchini slice. Top with cheese and a slice of chorizo. Return to the hot oven for 2 minutes or so, just until cheese is melted.
