Crustless Zucchini Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place the zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with salt; let drain for 15 minutes then squeeze out the moisture.
• Combine the zucchini, eggs, Parmesan, 1 cup mozzarella, and 1/2 cup Monterey Jack in a large bowl. Press the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
• While the zucchini crust is baking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the ground beef and onion. Cook and stir until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Stir in the tomato sauce and Italian seasoning.
• Spoon the sauce mixture over the baked zucchini crust. Top with the bell pepper, mushrooms, black olives, and the remaining mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheeses. Return to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until heated through. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. In a large bowl, combine first 4 ingredients; stir in 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Transfer to a 12-in. pizza pan coated generously with cooking spray; spread to an 11-in. circle., Bake until golden brown, 13-16 minutes. Reduce oven setting to 400°. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese; top with tomatoes, onion, pepper, herbs and remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake until edges are golden brown and cheese is melted, 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh basil, if desired.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Stir in the zucchini, biscuit mix and cheese. Pour into two greased 9-in. pie plates. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Put zucchini in a strainer, sprinkle with salt.
• Let stand for 45 minutes, then rinse with cold water.
• Drain well and set aside.
• Meanwhile, mix garlic, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms and oil in a frying pan.
• Saute until tender.
• Strain vegetables, discard liquid.
• Mix vegetables with tomato paste and green chile.
• Set aside.
• Heat broiler and lightly grease 10-inch pie pan.
• Mix together eggs, basil, oregano and half of mozzarella, half of parmesan and the flour.
• Combine with the strained zucchini in a bowl.
• Pour into prepared pan.
• Pat it out with your hands until it covers the pan.
• Put under broiler for 10 minutes until it is golden brown.
• Put in 350-degree oven, spread on tomato paste mixture and top with remaining cheeses.
• Bake 10 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Cool on wire rack for five to 10 minutes and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 10x13-inch baking dish.
• Place shredded zucchini in a colander and sprinkle salt on top. Press down to drain as much water as possible. Let sit for 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Add eggs, 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder to the zucchini. Mix well. Press mixture into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and onion in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Mix pizza sauce with cooked beef and spoon over zucchini mixture in the baking pan.
• Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese over the meat. Top with pepperoni slices.
• Return baking dish to the hot oven and bake until mozzarella cheese is melted, 15 to 20 minutes more.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• In a bowl, combine zucchini and egg substitute; mix well. Add flour and salt; stir well, scraping sides to incorporate all dry ingredients.
• Pour dough mix onto a solid bottom large 18 in" or larger pizza pan with a lip coated with nonstick cooking spray. Spread it evenly over pan with a spoon.
• Bake at 450 degrees for 8 minutes. Take pizza dough out of oven and reduce heat to 350 degrees.
• Sprinkle with mozzarella, tomatoes, onion, green pepper, oregano, basil and Parmesan cheese. (I love adding sliced broiled eggplant and sliced mushrooms and black olives too). Arranging artfully will take more time than just sprinkling on.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes OR until onion is tender and cheese is melted.
• I've made this in 2 different ovens and in one oven I had to take the crust out 2 minutes sooner in my first oven to avoid it being overdone. The crust will cook more during the last cycle of baking so keep that in mind. If you get any puffy pockets forming during the first round of baking, just lance them with the tip of a sharp knife.
• Doubling this recipe gives about 10 big slices.
