Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Zucchini
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 cups Marinara sauce
- 1 cup Toppings of choice (e.g., pepperoni, vegetables, etc.)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease the paper with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place it into a clean kitchen towel. Sprinkle the grated zucchini with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and let it sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
After 10 minutes, squeeze the zucchini tightly in the kitchen towel to remove as much water as possible. This step is essential to ensure the crust is not soggy.
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, egg, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, 0.25 cups of Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Transfer the zucchini mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands or a spatula, shape it into a round or rectangular pizza crust, about 1/4-inch thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until it becomes golden brown and feels firm to the touch.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread 0.5 cups of marinara sauce evenly over it. Top with your desired toppings and an additional sprinkle of mozzarella cheese if desired.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your Gluten-Free Zucchini Crust Pizza Delicious!
