Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated

1 cup all-purpose flour (or a gluten-free alternative)

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 large egg

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup marinara sauce

1 cup assorted toppings (e.g., sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, pepperoni)

Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to achieving a crispy flatbread.

      Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, flour, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a dough forms. The mixture should be slightly sticky but manageable.

        Shape the Flatbread: Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to spread and flatten the dough into a rectangle or round shape, about 1/4-inch thick. Aim for an even thickness for uniform cooking.

          Bake the Base: Place the flatbread in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until it is golden brown and firm to the touch.

            Add Toppings: Remove the flatbread from the oven and spread a generous layer of marinara sauce over it. Top with your choice of assorted toppings and sprinkle with additional mozzarella cheese if desired.

              Final Bake: Return the flatbread pizza to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted, and the edges are crispy.

                Serve: Remove from the oven, allow to cool for a minute, and then garnish with fresh basil. Slice and serve warm, enjoying each flavorful bite of your Zucchini Flatbread Pizza!
