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:

  • To make the zucchini crust, use a spiralizer or mandoline to create thin, long strips of zucchini.
  • Pat the zucchini strips dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the crust to be crispy.
  • Add some grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning to the zucchini strips for extra flavor.
  • When baking the zucchini crust, place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will help to prevent the crust from sticking.
  • Bake the zucchini crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it is golden brown and crispy.
  • Once the zucchini crust is baked, top it with your favorite pizza toppings. Be sure to use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Bake the pizza for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the toppings are heated through.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
