Ingredients

Toppings

  • 1 cup spaghetti or marinara sauce
  • 6 ounce mozzarella cheese
  • 1 medium bell pepper, green
  • 1/2 cup basil, fresh

Serve With

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.  Shred zucchini.
  • Add zucchini to a large bowl and let sit 10-15 minutes. Drain excess water from zucchini bowl. Using a tea towel or several sturdy paper towels, add in 1/2 cup of zucchini into towel and wring dry. Repeat with remaining zucchini. When you are finished, you should have about 2 cups of zucchini.
  • Add zucchini, egg, cheese, pepper and flour to a large mixing bowl. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  • Divide zucchini mixture in half. Dump each half onto the parchment paper to make two crusts. Using a spatula, spread out the batter so that it forms a round crust approximately 9 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Flip the crusts over and bake an additional 10 minutes until top is crispy. Flip pizza crusts back over.
  • Lower oven temperature to 400 F. Top each with a layer of marinara sauce, followed by slices of fresh mozzarella, sliced bell peppers and fresh basil leaves. Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  • Cut oranges and apples into slices. Slice pizzas into quarters.
  • Serve pizza with fruit on the side.
