Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Prepare 2 baking sheets with parchment paper sprayed lightly with olive oil.
  2. Shred zucchini and sprinkle it with salt.
  3. After a few minutes, squeeze all of the liquid out of the zucchini.
  4. Spread the zucchini shreds out evenly on a baking sheet and pop in the oven for 10-12 minutes, allowing the zucchini to dry out a bit.  (This helps to eliminate even more liquid)
  5. Combine the dried-out zucchini with the other ingredients.  The ‘dough’ should be moist, but with NO visible liquid.  If there is any visible liquid present, add more coconut flour 1/2 Tbsp at a time until it is all absorbed.
  6. Separate into 5 equal portions for 6-7″ mini crusts or 2 portions for large 10-12″ crusts.
  7. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until the crust is firm and the top is golden brown.  Flip the crusts and bake for a few more minutes to dry out the bottom side (if desired).
  8. Top with pizza sauce and your favorite toppings.  Pop back in the oven for 3-4 minutes or until the cheese melts.  Enjoy!

Notes

These crusts freeze very well. Just seal them in an airtight container.  To reheat, I usually just pop the crusts in the oven while it is pre-heating and I prepare my toppings.
