Instructions
Place the grated zucchini in a sieve, sprinkling it with about one teaspoon of sea salt and tossing the shreds around a bit to distribute the salt.
Let the zucchini 'sweat' for about 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
After the sweating the zucchini, place the shreds into a clean dish towel and SQUEEZE as much water out as you can.
Lightly beat the egg with the egg white and whisk in the oil, flour, baking powder, and spices, until well combined.
Stir in the zucchini until all of the shreds are fairly well coated.
Spread the 'dough' onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Place the pan on the bottom rack of your oven and bake for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, replace the pan on the top rack of the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the pan, top the pizza as desired, and bake for another 7-10 minutes, until toppings are cooked through.
Cool the pizza, slice, and enjoy!
