Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca flour, and sea salt.
Add the egg, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and water to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms.
Place the dough on the prepared parchment paper and press it out into a circle or rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until it starts to firm up and turn lightly golden.
While the crust is baking, prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice the zucchini, red bell pepper, red onion, and mushrooms.
Once the crust is pre-baked, remove it from the oven and evenly spread the Paleo-compliant tomato sauce over it.
Layer the zucchini, red bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms on top of the sauce.
Sprinkle the garlic powder and Italian seasoning evenly over the vegetables. If using, sprinkle the nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 12-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the crust edges are golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before cutting it into slices.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy your Paleo Vegetable Pizza Slice!
