Instructions
Step 1
Begin by grating the zucchini using a coarse grater. Let the grated zucchini rest for 5 minutes to allow excess moisture to escape.
After 5 minutes, take the zucchini and squeeze out as much water as possible to ensure a crisp base.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini with grated cheese, herbs, egg yolks, flour, and salt. Stir these ingredients together well until fully incorporated.
The mixture should be somewhat thick and hold together when formed. Feel free to add your choice of dried herbs for added flavor!
Step 3
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; you may lightly grease it with vegetable oil for easier removal later.
Transfer the zucchini mixture onto the parchment and spread it out evenly to form a pizza shape. Preheat the oven to 200°C (around 400°F) and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the base is golden brown.
Step 4
Once baked, you can optionally spread a layer of tomato paste on top and sprinkle with additional cheese. Return to the oven for another 10 minutes to melt the cheese.
Step 5
After that, feel free to add any toppings you prefer, such as herbs, ham, or shrimp. Enjoy your amazing zucchini pizza!

Equipment
A sturdy box grater is essential for shredding the zucchini evenly. Make sure to use the large hole side for the best texture!
Line your baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure an easy cleanup after baking.
A medium mixing bowl will help you combine all your ingredients smoothly. Look for one that’s lightweight yet durable.

Variations
Need a gluten-free option? No problem! Simply swap regular flour for almond or coconut flour to keep your crust tender yet hearty. 🌾 Remember to adjust the amount of flour based on the moisture content of the zucchini!
For a vegan twist, you can leave out the cheese or use a plant-based alternative! Nutritional yeast or vegan cheese can give you that cheesy essence while keeping it 100% animal products-free. 🌱
Faq
- Can I use a different vegetable instead of zucchini?
Absolutely! Grated carrots or sweet potatoes can also work, but you may want to adjust the baking time to ensure they cook through.
- How do I prevent the crust from becoming soggy?
Make sure to thoroughly squeeze the water out of the grated zucchini before mixing in other ingredients. This step is crucial for a crispy crust!
- Can I prepare the crust in advance?
Yes! You can make the crust and keep it in the fridge for up to a day before baking. Just be sure to bake it before adding toppings.
- How can I add more flavor to the crust?
Incorporate dried herbs, garlic powder, or onion powder into the dough mix for an extra flavor kick!
- Why is my crust not holding together?
If your crust falls apart, it could be due to using too much zucchini or not enough flour. Adjust the amounts next time for better results.
- What is the best way to store leftovers?
Store any leftover pizza in an airtight container in the fridge. To reheat, place it in the oven for a few minutes to regain crispiness!
