Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized zucchini
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Using the large holes of a box grater, shred the zucchini. Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a dough-like consistency forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands or a spatula to shape the mixture into a 10-12 inch circular or oval pizza base, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 5

Bake the zucchini crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crisp around the edges.

Step 6

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Add your favorite pizza toppings and return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes, or until the toppings are cooked and bubbly.

Step 7

Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your healthy and delicious zucchini pizza!
