Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 0.25 cup All-purpose Flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Pizza Sauce
- 0.75 cup Shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
- 5 whole Fresh Basil Leaves
- 1 as needed Non-stick Cooking Spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and wring out as much excess water as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt. Mix until well combined to form a dough-like mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and press it into a circle or rectangle to form the pizza crust, about 1/4-inch thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the pizza sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
