Zucchini Caprese Sliders

This is my favorite Christmas appetizer/side dish.  We usually have stuffed shells and Italian sausage and this pairs wonderfully.

Ingredients:

2 zucchini sliced into ¼ inch slices

12-16 cherry tomatoes halved

24 basil leaves

½ cup pesto (I make a spinach pistachio pesto I love)

Balsamic glaze

6-8 slices mozzarella cheese cut into quarters

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

Olive oil spray or olive oil

Directions:

1. Spray zucchini slices with olive oil spray and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.  Grill or air fry for 5-7 minutes per side adding more olive oil and Italian seasoning when you flip over.
2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
3. Spread the zucchini slices out on the baking sheet.
4. Top each zucchini with a mozzarella square, teaspoon of pesto, and half a cherry tomato.
5. Broil for 3 minutes on high.
6. Drizzle with balsamic glaze.
7. Enjoy!
