Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Zucchini Base

Start by grating the zucchinis using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and sprinkle it with salt. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Afterward, squeeze the zucchini tightly in the towel to remove as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial for achieving a firm and crispy base.

Step 2: Mix the Base Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, eggs, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated, forming a cohesive mixture.

Step 3: Shape and Bake the Base

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it. Spread the zucchini mixture onto the parchment paper, shaping it into a circle or rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Bake the zucchini base for 15–20 minutes, or until it is golden brown and slightly crisp around the edges.

Step 4: Add the Toppings

Remove the zucchini base from the oven and let it cool slightly. Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce over the base, followed by shredded mozzarella cheese. Arrange your chosen toppings—cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, olives, or any favorites—on top.

Step 5: Bake the Pizza

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a crispier finish, broil the pizza for 1–2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Zucchini Pizza, a guilt-free, flavorful alternative to traditional pizza.
