Categories     Breads

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 pizza base

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups grated zucchini
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 pinch marjoram or 1 pinch rosemary (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Generously oil a 10 inch pie pan and coat lightly with flour.
  • Combine zucchini, eggs, flour, mozzarella, parmesan, herbs and 1 T olive oil in a bowl and mix well.
  • Spread into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minues or until golden brown.
  • About halfway through the baking, brush with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil[optional].
  • Remove from oven.
  • When it has cooled for about 10 minues, use a spatula to loosen the crust from the pan so it won't break later.
  • Top with your favourite pizza items and bake at 400 F until heated through.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor or grater to create fine zucchini noodles. This will help them bind together and create a crispy crust.
  • Be sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the zucchini noodles before adding them to the crust mixture. This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Add your favorite seasonings and spices to the crust mixture for extra flavor. Garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika are all great options.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the zucchini crust. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Be patient when flipping the zucchini crust. It can be delicate, so take your time to avoid breaking it.
  • Top the zucchini crust with your favorite pizza toppings and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Zucchini crusted pizza is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional pizza. It's perfect for those who are looking for a low-carb or gluten-free option. The zucchini crust is crispy and flavorful, and it can be topped with any of your favorite pizza toppings. So next time you're in the mood for pizza, give this zucchini crusted version a try.
