Zucchini Crust Pizza

Pizza is one of those foods that is notoriously difficult to eat when you have diabetes. This recipe helps to combat high blood sugar and can be found in the Moosewood Cookbook. Not only is it really
delicious, but it's pizza that is good for you!

 

Ingredients

Olive oil and flour for the pan
2 cups (packed) grated zucchini
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup grated mozzarella
1/2 cup grated parmesan
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
2 tablespoons olive oil

 

Method

Preheat oven to 400 F. Drizzle a little olive oil in a 10" pie pan and coat lightly with flour.
Combine the zucchini, eggs, flour, mozzarella, parmesan, basil, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a bowl and mix well. Spread into the pie pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. About halfway through the baking, brush with the remaining olive oil. Remove from oven. When it has cooled for about 10 minutes, use a spatula to loosen the crust from the pan so it won't break later.
 
Top with your favorite pizza items and bake at 400 F until heated through.
