This zucchini pizza replaces traditional dough with a crust made from grated zucchini, egg, and Parmesan. Salt the zucchini, let it sit briefly, then use a kitchen towel to squeeze out the water thoroughly so the crust turns crisp when baked at 200 °C (400 °F). Choose toppings to taste, such as tomato paste, mozzarella, ricotta or goat cheese, vegetables, herbs, and, if desired, sausage or chicken.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Suggested toppings:

    Choose from toppings such as:

    • Tomato paste or ketchup
    • Shredded mozzarella
    • Ricotta or goat cheese
    • Vegetables such as onion, garlic, mushrooms, and tomatoes, along with parsley or basil
    • Meat to taste, such as sausage, pieces of chicken, or your favorite salami
    • Olive oil and black pepper
    • Cheese for sprinkling on top
  2. Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Chop the zucchini.

  3. Salt the zucchini, toss, and let sit briefly. Then squeeze out the water using a kitchen towel or a strainer. Add the egg and grated cheese, then spread the mixture into a circle on parchment paper.

  4. Bake the crust for about 15–20 minutes. Meanwhile, sauté the ingredients you want to use as toppings.

  5. Remove the pizza from the oven, arrange the toppings over it, and sprinkle with more cheese.

  6. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese melts. Garnish the baked pizza with basil, if desired.

Tip: Spread the crust into an evenly thin layer, as a thicker center would stay wet. Use toppings sparingly and spread on only a thin layer of tomato paste, since the zucchini base cannot hold much moisture.
