Zucchini Pizza

Similar to the popular cauliflower pizza, this recipe swaps out flour for nutritious vegetables. The zucchini crust is both crispy and flavorful, providing a perfect base for your favorite toppings.

Ingredients (for 1 pizza):

• 1 large zucchini
  
• 1 pinch of salt
  
• 1 egg
  
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  
• 1/2 cup grated mozzarella
  
• 4 tbsp green pesto
  
• Toppings of your choice: e.g., olives, cherry tomatoes, basil, onions

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. Finely grate the zucchini, add a pinch of salt, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then, place the zucchini in a kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess liquid.
   
3. Next, mix the zucchini with the egg and grated cheeses. Press the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, forming a crust. Bake for about 20 minutes.
   
4. Flip the crust, spread the pesto over it, add your desired toppings, and bake for an additional 15 minutes.

Enjoy!
