NOM OF THE WEEK: Zucchini - Crusted Pizza!⠀
To satisfy all those pregnancy cravings, I'm making sure to include recipes featuring chocolate, chips, and fudge for Nom of the weeks. But I would be remiss if I didn't include a recipe for the ultimate comfort food: PIZZA! Instead of a typical white flower crust, this version uses zucchini, a humble veggie that's high in vitamin C, manganese, and antioxidants.⠀
INGREDIENTS:⠀
Crust: 3 cups grated zucchini⠀
3 tbls coconut flour⠀
4 eggs⠀
2 cloves minced garlic⠀
1 heaping tsp oregano⠀
pinch of sea salt.⠀
Toppings: 1 small jar pizza sauce⠀
2 cups grates mozzarella⠀
Veggies of your choice.⠀
⠀
Preheat oven to 450 degrees (if you have a pizza stone, slide that in the oven so it can heat up, too.) Add crust ingredients to a food process and pulse until the mixture comes together. On a circle pan or pizza stone lined with parchment paper, form the dough into a pie shape, piling up extra along the perimeter to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove pizza from the oven and lower the heat to 350 degrees. Cover your crust with a thin layer of pizza sauce, add mozzarella and additional toppings. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted!⠀
Enjoy with a big green salad (or chocolate)
