Zucchini Crust Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. Mix the first 8 ingredients; transfer to a 12-in. pizza pan coated generously with cooking spray. Spread mixture to an 11-in. circle., Bake until light golden brown, 13-16 minutes. Reduce oven setting to 400°. Add toppings. Bake until cheese is melted, 10-12 minutes longer.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. In a large bowl, combine first 4 ingredients; stir in 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Transfer to a 12-in. pizza pan coated generously with cooking spray; spread to an 11-in. circle., Bake until golden brown, 13-16 minutes. Reduce oven setting to 400°. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese; top with tomatoes, onion, pepper, herbs and remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake until edges are golden brown and cheese is melted, 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh basil, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place the zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with salt; let drain for 15 minutes then squeeze out the moisture.
• Combine the zucchini, eggs, Parmesan, 1 cup mozzarella, and 1/2 cup Monterey Jack in a large bowl. Press the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
• While the zucchini crust is baking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the ground beef and onion. Cook and stir until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Stir in the tomato sauce and Italian seasoning.
• Spoon the sauce mixture over the baked zucchini crust. Top with the bell pepper, mushrooms, black olives, and the remaining mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheeses. Return to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until heated through. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat and liberally spray with cooking spray.
• Grate the zucchini on the small holes of a box grater to yield about 2 cups. Place in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the liquid.
• Place the zucchini in a medium bowl. Stir in the mozzarella, Parmesan, almond meal, egg, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and press into a 10- to 11-inch round. Bake until golden brown and the edges begin to crisp up, about 15 minutes.
• Use a spatula to lift and loosen the zucchini crust from the baking mat. Place a piece of parchment on top of the crust. Cover with an inverted baking sheet and flip to invert the crust.
• Bake until golden brown with crispy edges, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Immediately top with chunks of the goat cheese so they start to soften and melt. Dollop with the pesto and top with the prosciutto and basil. Finish with a sprinkle of Parmesan and black pepper. Cut into triangles or squares.
