Zucchini Pizza Crust

My friend Mere makes something similar but I did not have all the cheese her recipe called for.  So I altered this one from the Gluten Free Homemaker.com.  Its a bit of work but actually really good, especially if you have a lot of zucchini from the garden.

Zucchini Pizza Crust

  • 2 cups zucchini, finely grated, lightly packed
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 Tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Place the grated zucchini into a dry dish towel or paper towel, and wring the towel over the sink until the water from the zucchini is squeezed out.
  3. Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl.
  4. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, spread the zucchini mix out into an oval shape. I used my hands to do this, and I press it down to compact it as well.
  5. Place the pan on the bottom rack of the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  6. Then place the pan on the top rack of the oven for about 8 minutes, until browned.
  7. Remove the pan and flip the crust.
  8. Bake for another 5 minutes.
  9. Remove the crust.
  10. Turn the oven up to 500 degrees.
  11. Top the pizza
  12. Place the pan back into the oven on the bottom rack and bake for 3-4 minutes. Again, place the pan on the top rack for about 2 minutes.
  13. Remove and let cool for 5-10 minutes to let everything set.
