Skip to content- Prepare the Zucchini:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
- Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place it in a colander.
- Sprinkle with a little salt and let it sit for a few minutes to draw out excess moisture.
- After a few minutes, squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a clean kitchen towel or your hands.
- Make the Crust:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini with 2 eggs, granulated garlic, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Add the chopped spring onions and mix well.
- Gradually add 5 tablespoons of flour to the mixture, stirring until a dough-like consistency is achieved.
- Form and Bake the Crust:
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and lightly grease it with oil.
- Spread the zucchini mixture onto the tray, forming it into a round pizza shape.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Add Toppings and Bake Again:
- Once the crust is baked, remove it from the oven and add your favorite pizza toppings, such as tomato sauce, cheese, and vegetables.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve:
- Slice and serve the zucchini pizza hot. Enjoy it as a light meal or snack!
