How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 300 degrees. Use a vegetable grater to shred a large zucchini into thick shreds. The shredded zucchini should equal the weight listed in the ingredients. Spread the zucchini shreds across a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Cook the tray in your oven for 30 minutes. You can toss the shreds on the tray after 20 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
After 30 minutes in the oven, the zucchini shreds should be only slightly moist and some will be lightly golden brown. Let the zucchini cool for 5 minutes until it is cool enough to handle. Toss the zucchini shreds in a mixing bowl with the egg, salt, pepper, and shredded parmesan. Use a spatula to fold the ingredients over until you have a consistent zucchini mixture. Then, turn your oven’s temperature up to 350 degrees.
Step 3
Line your sheet tray with a new piece of parchment paper. Use your spatula to arrange the zucchini mixture on the sheet tray into a circle. The original recipe here should make a 10” thin-crust pizza. Bake the zucchini crust for 22-25 minutes, until the crust has a golden brown edge and you can see the egg and parmesan completely cooked through. You can then cool this finished crust and use it for “leftover” cold pizza recipes. If you want to bake a hot pizza, arrange your sauce and toppings on the finished zucchini crust pizza. Bake the pizza at 350 degrees until you see your toppings cooked and browned and any cheese bubbled and browned as well.
