Directions: 

  • Preheat the oven to 550F with a pre-baking pizza stone.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of coarse salt, mix the zucchini in a large bowl and set aside for 15 minutes. Squeeze out of the squash the excess moisture by wrapping it in a clean tea towel or piece of cheesecloth and wring it out, discarding the sweat.
  • Once all the excess moisture has been removed, put the shredded zucchini back in the bowl and add the cheddar cheese, flour, garlic, oregano, basil, eggs, and salt.
  • Include all the ingredients together with your hand
  • Place the zucchini mixture on at least 15 "in diameter of a piece of parchment paper, placed on something solid to make it easy to move to the oven.
  • Spread the zucchini crust mixture using your fingertips to form a circle about 14 "in diameter, 1/2" thick. Pinch the edges to form a nice crust.
  • Move the crust on the parchment paper to the heated pizza stone in the oven once the pizza crust has been formed. Cook for 8 minutes or until the crust starts to brown.
  • Move pizza on the parchment paper to the heated pizza stone in the oven once the toppings are turned on and bake for another 4 minutes.
