These Baked Zucchini Hummus Bites are fantastic for healthy snacking or appetizers! Only 39 calories for two of these vegetarian and gluten free bites.

You know those times when you're standing in front of the fridge, door open, staring into the abyss while trying to figure out what the heck sounds good enough to curb your munchies without leading you down the path of no return. You know that path I mean, when you start by munching on a carrot stick, then somehow find yourself pouring Doritos crumbs straight into your mouth?

Did I just say that out loud?

Any one of these healthy snacks would normally do the trick, but I had a limited selection of choices in the fridge, so concocted these baked zucchini hummus bites out of my supply.

Honestly, you could top these bites with any variety of spreads and veggies. I happened to have roasted red pepper hummus in the fridge, so that's what I used, along with some diced roasted red peppers (jarred in water or homemade), feta cheese and parsley. Kalamata olives or capers would be great, or a dollop of pesto on top of plain hummus. Make these bites vegan by foregoing the feta cheese or amp up the protein with diced salami or prosciutto. The sky's the limit!

One trick for these baked zucchini hummus bites: Bake the zucchini until just tender. The last thing you want is soggy zucchini rounds!
