- 2 cups zucchini finely grated, lightly packed
- 1/2 cup almond meal/flour
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano or Italian seasoning
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Place the grated zucchini in a strainer.
Sprinkle the zucchini with some salt (about 1/4 teaspoon), toss to disperse.
Place the strainer over a large bowl, and let the zucchini drain for about 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Place the grated zucchini into a dry dish towel, and wring the towel over the sink until the water from the zucchini is squeezed out.
Mix the zucchini with the rest of the ingredients in a bowl.
On a parchment-lined baking sheet, spread the zucchini mix out into a circle shape. I use wet hands to do this.
Place the pan on the bottom rack of the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden.
Remove the crust.
Top the pizza as desired.
Place the pan back into the oven on the bottom rack and bake for 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted to your liking.
Remove and let cool for five minutes to let everything set.
Slice and enjoy!!
