Crust
- 4 cups of zucchini grated
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour divided
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 3 tbsp olive oil divided

Instructions
Crust
- In a microwave safe bowl, heat grated zucchini for 5 minutes. Transfer to a colander and let drain. Once zucchini is cool enough to touch, use paper towels to squeeze out moisture.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- In a medium sized bowl, mix together zucchini, 1 1/4 cups flour, egg, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, pepper, and 2 tbsp olive oil.
- Dough will be very sticky. Make it into a flat circle, about 5" in diameter, as best as you can. Cover outside of dough with remaining 1/4 cup flour.
- Spread dough evenly out on a pizza stone or parchment paper lined baking sheet. Brush remaining tbsp of olive oil over top of crust.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until top is golden brown.
Topping
- Cover crust with pizza sauce, pepperoni, cheeses, parsley, and other desired toppings. Return to oven and bake for 7-8 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.
