Ingredients

• 2 medium Zucchini
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup Low-carb marinara sauce
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
• 12 pieces Pepperoni slices (optional)
• 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Grate the zucchinis using a box grater and transfer them to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.

Step 3

Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini to avoid a soggy crust.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded zucchini, egg, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Transfer the zucchini mixture to the prepared baking sheet and press it into a round or rectangular crust, about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 6

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until golden and firm to the touch.

Step 7

Remove the crust from the oven and spread the low-carb marinara sauce evenly over the top.

Step 8

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce, followed by the optional pepperoni slices or any additional keto-friendly toppings of your choice.

Step 9

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.

Step 11

Slice and serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves if desired.
