Prep Time: 10 minutes

Draining Zucchini: 5 minutes (important for crispiness!)

Baking Time: 15-20 minutes for the crust, plus 10 minutes after adding toppings

Total Time: ~30-35 minutes

Ingredients:

1 medium zucchini, grated

1 cup rolled oats (blended into oat flour)

1 egg (or flax egg for vegan)

1/4 cup shredded mozzarella or nutritional yeast (optional)

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

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

Grate the zucchini, place it in a clean kitchen towel, and squeeze out excess moisture.

Make oat flour by blending rolled oats into a fine powder.

In a bowl, mix zucchini, oat flour, egg, cheese (if using), and seasonings until combined.

Form the crust: Spread the mixture onto the parchment paper, shaping it into a thin, even circle.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is firm and slightly golden.

Add toppings of choice (e.g., tomato sauce, veggies, cheese) and bake for another 10 minutes.

Tips:

For a crispier crust, flip it after the first bake and cook for 5 more minutes.
