Ingredients

2 cups shredded zucchini
¼ tsp Salt
3 large eggs beaten
½ cup all-purpose flour see notes
1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup pizza or marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
12 slices pepperoni

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°.
Spread the shredded zucchini out on a lightly greased baking sheet and sprinkle lightly with salt. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove and transfer the zucchini to paper towels or a cheesecloth.
Increase oven temperature to 450°.
Squeeze out as much additional moisture from the zucchini as possible. Add the zucchini to a large bowl along with the whisked eggs.
Sprinkle the flour in gradually, stirring to incorporate. Continue to add flour until desired consistency is obtained. (I use the entire ½ cup for all-purpose flour.)
Spread out onto a lightly greased 12-inch pizza pan, leaving 1-inch or so around the edges. Use a fork to gently poke holes in the dough to prevent the crust from bubbling up as it bakes.
Top with shredded Parmesan cheese and bake for 18 minutes, until it begins to brown slightly. Remove from oven.
Reduce heat to 400°.
If possible, let the crust cool for extra crispy results.
Top with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni (or desired pizza toppings). Bake for 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Top with parsley, red pepper flakes, and/or grated Parmesan cheese and serve!

Notes

Pro Tips

Almond Flour, Coconut Flour, and Whole Wheat Flour may also be used.
I recommend using a light colored pizza pan or a pizza stone for this recipe. Dark pans absorb more heat and therefore will likely require less baking time.
Low Moisture, whole milk mozzarella shredded fresh from a block is best for this recipe. I use Galbani or Dragone mozzarella.
