Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Low-carb marinara sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
- 12 pieces Pepperoni slices (optional)
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Grate the zucchinis using a box grater and transfer them to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini to avoid a soggy crust.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded zucchini, egg, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the zucchini mixture to the prepared baking sheet and press it into a round or rectangular crust, about 1/4-inch thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until golden and firm to the touch.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the low-carb marinara sauce evenly over the top.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce, followed by the optional pepperoni slices or any additional keto-friendly toppings of your choice.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
Slice and serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves if desired.
