Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized zucchini
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using the large holes of a box grater, shred the zucchini. Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a dough-like consistency forms.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands or a spatula to shape the mixture into a 10-12 inch circular or oval pizza base, about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the zucchini crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crisp around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Add your favorite pizza toppings and return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes, or until the toppings are cooked and bubbly.
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your healthy and delicious zucchini pizza!
