Provided by Maya Krampf

Categories     Main Course

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 oz Zucchini ((about 2 cups grated coarsely, packed loosely into the measuring cup))
3 large Eggs
1 cup Mozzarella cheese ((shredded; use either pre-shredded or hard mozzarella from a block, *not* soft fresh))
1/4 cup Wholesome Yum Coconut Flour
1/2 tsp Sea salt ((plus a little more for sprinkling in step 2))

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Grease a 12- or 14-inch non-stick pizza pan. (30 or 36 cm) (Use parchment paper if it's not excellent non-stick.)
  • Spread out the grated zucchini onto the pan in a thin layer. Sprinkle very lightly with a little sea salt (not 1/2 tsp, this is just a light sprinkle). Bake for about 10-15 minutes, until zucchini is semi-soft and fairly dry.
  • Meanwhile, combine the eggs, mozzarella, coconut flour and 1/2 tsp sea salt in a large bowl.
  • When the zucchini is done, pat the dry as well as possible with paper towels. Mix into the bowl.
  • Lightly wipe down the pizza pan to get rid of any stuck on zucchini. If it's not very good non-stick, line with parchment paper. Grease the pan or parchment paper.
  • Spread the zucchini pizza dough into a thin circle, about 11-12 in (28-30 cm) in diameter. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until there are brown spots on the top. (The time will depend on the thickness of the zucchini pizza crust.)
  • Remove the zucchini pizza crust from the oven. Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C) and let it preheat.
  • Let the crust rest for 10 minutes at room temperature, then top with thick sauce and toppings.
  • Return the zucchini crust pizza to the oven for about 10 minutes, until the cheese on top melts. If desired, place under broiler for a couple minutes to brown the cheese.

ZUCCHINI-CRUST PIZZA WITH GOAT CHEESE AND PROSCIUTTO



Zucchini-Crust Pizza with Goat Cheese and Prosciutto image

This recipe is sponsored by Target. Zucchini-crust pizza can sometimes be a bit of a letdown, too soggy or bland. I add garlic and Parmesan to my crust for an extra layer of flavor and then I cook it twice, flipping halfway through to ensure a crispy crust that can stand up to toppings and not flop over when you pick it up.

Provided by Megan Mitchell

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray
2 to 3 medium zucchini
1 cup shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup almond meal
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 clove garlic, grated
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
3 ounces soft goat cheese
1/3 cup store-bought basil pesto
3 to 4 slices prosciutto
10 to 15 basil leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat and liberally spray with cooking spray.
  • Grate the zucchini on the small holes of a box grater to yield about 2 cups. Place in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the liquid.
  • Place the zucchini in a medium bowl. Stir in the mozzarella, Parmesan, almond meal, egg, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and press into a 10- to 11-inch round. Bake until golden brown and the edges begin to crisp up, about 15 minutes.
  • Use a spatula to lift and loosen the zucchini crust from the baking mat. Place a piece of parchment on top of the crust. Cover with an inverted baking sheet and flip to invert the crust.
  • Bake until golden brown with crispy edges, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Immediately top with chunks of the goat cheese so they start to soften and melt. Dollop with the pesto and top with the prosciutto and basil. Finish with a sprinkle of Parmesan and black pepper. Cut into triangles or squares.
