Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 4 cups Zucchini, grated and drained about 2-3 medium zucchinis
  • 2 large Eggs acting as a binder
  • 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese feel free to mix in grated Parmesan
For Seasoning
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp Black pepper
For the Toppings
  • 0.75 cup Pizza sauce
  • 1.5 cups Additional toppings like pepperoni, bell peppers, or mushrooms

Equipment

  • Oven
  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Box grater
  • Mixing bowl
  • Kitchen towel

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Grate about 2-3 medium zucchinis until you have roughly 4 cups. Squeeze the grated zucchini in a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. Combine zucchini with eggs, mozzarella, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper in a bowl.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking dish, then spread the zucchini mixture evenly in the dish and press down. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the crust is firm and light golden.
  3. Allow the baked crust to cool for about 5-10 minutes. Spread pizza sauce evenly on the crust, then add your favorite toppings and sprinkle with additional cheese.
  4. Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melty. Broil for 2-3 minutes for a crispier top if desired.
  5. Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm. Garnish with fresh basil or olive oil if desired.

Squeeze out all moisture from zucchini for the best crust. Customize toppings wisely to your preference. Store leftovers for up to 3 days in the fridge, or freeze for up to 2 months.
