Ingredients

• 4 medium Zucchini
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Marinara sauce (low-sodium, no added sugar)
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 0.25 cup Kalamata olives
• 1 cup Baby spinach
• 0.5 cup Crumbled feta cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much moisture as possible.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, egg, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a dough-like consistency.

Step 4

Press the zucchini mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to form a pizza crust about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 5

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and slightly crispy around the edges.

Step 6

Remove the crust from the oven and brush it with olive oil. Spread marinara sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 7

Top the pizza with halved cherry tomatoes, sliced Kalamata olives, and baby spinach. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and dried oregano over the toppings.

Step 8

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the toppings are heated through and the feta is slightly golden.

Step 9

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve.
