Ingredients

• 3 medium zucchini
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cup almond flour
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.

Step 2

Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to ensure the crust doesn’t become soggy.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, egg, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, almond flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 4

Transfer the zucchini mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread it out into a thin, even circle (about 1/4-inch thick) or your desired shape.

Step 5

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 6

Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes. If needed, carefully lift the crust to ensure it’s firm on the bottom.

Step 7

Add your desired pizza toppings (such as tomato sauce, cheese, and vegetables) and return the pizza to the oven. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your low-carb zucchini pizza crust!
