zucchini pizza

Lots of people use spiralized or shredded zucchini instead of pasta. What if zucchini could also replace pizza crust?

This recipe is in development. It works okay, but could be better.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Part 1: Things for Two Halves

In an small bowl combine and mix well:

• 1 basil puck (we freeze a mixture of basil and olive oil in silicone cupcake molds, for later use)
• 1/2 cup olive oil

Divide this mixture into two equal halves.

Then open:

• 1 bag (12 ounces) of Trader Joe's four-cheese blend, or shredded Parmesan cheese

And also divide the cheese into two equal halves.

Part 2: Preparations

Spiralize or grate:

• 25 ounces zucchini

(Sometimes we use previously prepared frozen spiralize or grated zucchini. When we do this, first add some salt, let it sit, and drain off any liquid.)

In a medium bowl, scramble:

• 5 eggs

Part 3: Crust

In a large bowl, mix together:

• 2 cups teff flour
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp pepperoni spice mix
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt

Stirring after adding each ingredient, add the zucchini, eggs, and one each of the portioned-out cheese amounts and basil and olive oil mixture amounts.

Mix until no zucchini clumps remain.

Prepare a half-sheet pan with a silpat. Oil the edge of the pan.

Bake for 30 minutes.

Part 4: Toppings

Remove the crust briefly, to spread on top:

• the other half of the basil and olive oil mixture
• the other half of the cheese
• sprinkle on more pepperoni spice mix
• whatever other toppings you desire

Bake for 15 more minutes.
