Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on each tree, leaving a small border around the edges.
4. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.
5. Top with mini pepperoni or any festive toppings of your choice.
