Method
Prepare the Zucchini Base
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that the zucchini base will cook properly and become crispy.
- Grate the zucchini 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 prevent a soggy pizza base.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, egg, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the zucchini mixture onto the parchment paper, forming a round pizza shape about ¼ inch thick. Use a spatula to smooth the surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is firm. This step helps to create a sturdy base for your toppings.
Add Toppings and Bake
- Remove the zucchini base from the oven and spread marinara sauce evenly over the top, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by your choice of toppings such as pepperoni, bell pepper, and olives.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil before slicing.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your healthy zucchini pizza!
