Ingredients

• 3 medium Zucchini
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Low-sodium mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Grate the zucchinis and place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Squeeze out as much moisture from the zucchini as you can, then transfer it to a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Add the egg, 1/3 cup of the low-sodium mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano to the bowl. Mix well to create your zucchini crust mixture.

Step 5

Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a round or rectangular crust about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 6

Bake the zucchini crust for 15 minutes until lightly golden and set.

Step 7

Remove the crust from the oven and carefully spread the low-sodium tomato sauce evenly over the surface.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining low-sodium mozzarella cheese and the low-sodium parmesan cheese over the sauce.

Step 9

Top with sliced cherry tomatoes and drizzle with olive oil.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.

Step 13

Slice and serve warm.
