Description

First there was cauliflower crust, now there’s zucchini crust. But look! Pizza.

Ingredients

  • 2 whole Zucchini
  • 1 whole Large Egg
  • 1 cup Low-fat Mozzarella Cheese, Divided
  • ½ teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Black Pepper
  • 3 Tablespoons Pizza Sauce
  • Basil, For Garnish

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450ºF.

Wash and grate zucchini using a cheese grater. Add to a bowl and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Drain excess water using a cheese cloth, or a colander using the back of a spoon to press out water.

Add zucchini, egg, half of the mozzarella, garlic powder and black pepper back into the bowl. Mix everything to combined.

Lay out a piece of parchment paper on a pizza stone, and spread zucchini mixture into a circle using a spatula. Bake for 20 minutes.

Remove from oven, add on your pizza sauce and the remaining cheese. Return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes.

Garnish with basil. Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy!

THIS WAS FABULOUS! My sister grows zucchini, so the whole family has a constant supply in the summer. I decided to give this recipe a whirl, though I was a bit skeptical about the water content in the zucchini being a problem. I squeezed as liquid out as I possibly could. Since zucchini can range in size dramatically, I eyeballed how much I wanted to use. I think 4-6 cups grated (prior to squeezing) is about the right amount for one egg. I also added some nutritional yeast for a little cheesy boost. It worked great! After baking on my pizza stone for 20 minutes, the edges were browned and the crust was pretty set. I slathered with homemade pizza sauce, shredded cheese, and turkey pepperoni and put it back in the oven for about 8 minutes. I had to slide the whole parchment paper with the pizza onto my cutting board since it wouldn’t slide off intact, but I was able to slice and serve without too much difficulty. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed the flavor! Great pizza taste with a fraction of the calories! Thanks so much for sharing!
