Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized zucchini
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 0.5 cups pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
- 0.5 cups pepperoni or other toppings of choice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Grate the zucchinis using a box grater, then place the grated zucchini into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, salt, egg, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.
Spread the zucchini mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming it into a circular pizza crust about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it's slightly golden and firm to the touch.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread pizza sauce evenly over the top.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by your chosen toppings (e.g., pepperoni, vegetables, or sausage).
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 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
