A quick and easy keto-friendly pizza with a crispy zucchini crust topped with pepperoni and mozzarella cheese, perfect for low-carb meals without sacrificing flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium zucchinis, grated and moisture squeezed out
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (preferably part-skim)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • About 20 slices pepperoni
  • ½ cup no-sugar-added tomato sauce (marinara)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor to yield about 4 cups (450g) of grated zucchini.
  2. Place the grated zucchini into a clean kitchen towel or nut milk bag and twist firmly over the sink to squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, almond flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Stir the beaten eggs into the dry ingredients, then fold in the zucchini until evenly incorporated and the mixture holds together when pressed.
  5. Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper. Transfer the zucchini mixture and press it down firmly into a 10-inch round shape about ¼ inch thick, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes until edges are golden and crust feels firm.
  7. Remove crust and spread tomato sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle with 1 cup shredded mozzarella and arrange pepperoni slices on top.
  8. Return pizza to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  9. Let pizza cool for 5 minutes before slicing to help the crust firm up and keep toppings in place.

Notes

Squeezing out as much moisture as possible from the zucchini is crucial for a crispy crust. Preheat your oven and pizza stone for best results. If crust isn’t crispy enough, broil for 1-2 minutes watching carefully to avoid burning. For air fryer method, bake crust at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, add toppings, then air fry 5 more minutes.
