Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized Zucchini
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 cups Low-fat mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 0.5 cups Tomato sauce (low-sodium, no sugar added)
- 0.75 cups Cherry tomatoes (sliced)
- 0.5 cups Red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 1 cups Spinach (fresh, chopped)
- 0.25 cups Black olives (sliced)
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray.
Grate the zucchinis using a box grater and place them in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much excess water as possible to ensure a crisp crust.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, salt, egg whites, 1/4 cup of the shredded low-fat mozzarella, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix well until it forms a dough-like consistency.
Spread the zucchini mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming an even, thin circle or rectangle to serve as the crust. Press down firmly to compact it.
Bake the zucchini crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly across the surface. Sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup of low-fat mozzarella on top.
Layer the cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper slices, spinach, and black olives evenly over the pizza. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
