Ingredients

• 3 medium Zucchini
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.5 cup Marinara sauce
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (sliced)
• 6 pieces Fresh basil leaves
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a 9-inch pie dish by greasing it lightly with olive oil.

Step 2

Grate the zucchinis using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a colander over the sink, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

Step 3

After 10 minutes, use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to squeeze out as much water as possible from the zucchini. This step is essential to avoid a watery dish.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, half of the shredded mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).

Step 5

Add the squeezed zucchini to the egg mixture and mix until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the zucchini mixture into the prepared pie dish and use a spatula to spread it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until set and lightly golden on top.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and spread the marinara sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Step 9

Top with sliced cherry tomatoes and return the dish to the oven. Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

Step 11

Cut into slices and enjoy your crustless zucchini pizza!
