For the final steps, using a spoon spread Ragu pizza sauce all over the flat side of the zucchinis. Add mozzarella (for a healthier choice add very little cheese) on top of the Ragu sauce. Distribute 4-5 mini Pepperonis per zucchini. Place diced bell pepper on the zucchinis. Finally, add 1-2 slices of jalapeños.

Bake for 5-10 Minutes at 350 Degrees.
