Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 2-3 medium medium zucchini, about 1 1/2 cup shredded
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose (AP) flour, almond flour, or breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup low-fat shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (optional) Optional for added flavor
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Toppings
  • Pizza sauce
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Favorite toppings Customize as desired

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray it with cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the zucchini by placing the shredded zucchini on a plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of salt and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
  3. After 10 minutes, squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini using the paper towels or a clean cheesecloth.
  4. In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded zucchini, flour, egg, cheese, and Italian seasoning until everything is combined.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the greased parchment paper. Press it into your desired shape and thickness.
  6. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until it looks set and the bottom starts to brown.
Topping and Final Baking
  1. Carefully remove the crust from the oven. Add a thin layer of pizza sauce, sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese, and add your choice of toppings.
  2. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  3. Once done, remove it from the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Serve the pizza hot and enjoy with a side salad. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
