Grilled Zucchini Pizza Slices

(This "recipe" is just a guideline, adjust amounts to make as
many pizzas as you'd like).

Ingredients

-large zucchini slices, cut 3/4 inch thick
-olive oil,(for lightly brushing both sides of pizza and oiling grill grate)
-pizza sauce of your choice(preferably home made or organic)
-grated cheese (I used a blend of low-fat shredded mozzarella but you can use any cheese you'd enjoy on pizza).
-pizza toppings of your choice (I used low-fat turkey pepperoni, but you can also use mushrooms,cooked organic sausage,lean ground organic meat, onions, sliced olives, sauteed bell peppers, or any other toppings you'd like on pizza.)

Directions

1.Oil the grill grates (I use a bit of oil on a paper towel), then preheat grill to medium-high.
2.Cut zucchini into thick slices about 3/4 inch thick.(I wouldn't use enormous zucchini with large seeds for this recipe.)
3.Grill the zucchini 7-8 minutes, or until there are some grill marks and it's starting to be tender.(If the zucchini has a side that's slightly larger, grill that first so it will be the "top.") If desired, you can heat the sauce while the zucchini grills.
4.Remove zucchini from the grill, putting them grilled-side up on a cutting board.
5.Spread each slice of zucchini with about 1 Tbsp.pizza sauce,whatever desired toppings and some grated cheese.
6.Put loaded zucchini slices back on the grill and cook 7-8 minutes more with the grill lid closed. (Check them every few minutes to see when the cheese is melted and the toppings are lightly browned, especially if you're using a broiler. If you have a gas grill where you can regulate the heat, I turned it to high when I put the pizza back on.)
7.Remove zucchini pizzas from grill and serve hot.
