Zucchini pizza

Zucchini pizza is a perfect choice for anyone who loves vegetable-based dishes and is looking for a fresh alternative to fried, roasted, baked, stuffed, or sautéed zucchini. This easy zucchini pizza recipe is quick to prepare and simple enough for beginners, guaranteeing delicious results the very first time.

One of the greatest advantages of homemade zucchini pizza is its versatility. You can customize the topping with virtually any ingredients you enjoy: hard or semi-hard cheese, sausage, ham, cooked meat, tomatoes, olives, black olives, mushrooms, and more. A generous sprinkle of dried oregano not only enhances the aroma and flavor but also adds valuable health benefits.

Oregano contains the natural compounds carvacrol and thymol, essential oils known for their powerful antibacterial and antiviral properties. These compounds help support the immune system and promote overall wellness. Oregano is also an excellent source of vitamins A and E, two fat-soluble antioxidants that protect cells from oxidative stress and help slow the aging process. Vitamin A additionally supports healthy vision, and its deficiency may contribute to night blindness, a condition characterized by poor vision in low-light environments.

For prepare You will need:

For the zucchini pizza base (4 servings):

• 500 g (1.1 lb) zucchini;
• 2 eggs;
• 100 g (¾ cup) all-purpose flour;
• ½ teaspoon salt;
• ½ teaspoon baking powder;
• 1 pinch ground black pepper;

How to make zucchini pizza

Begin by preparing the zucchini crust. Wash and dry the zucchini thoroughly. If the skin is thick or tough, peel it using a knife or vegetable peeler. Grate the zucchini and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.

Transfer the grated zucchini to a large bowl and add the eggs, salt, and black pepper. Mix well, then stir in the flour and baking powder until the mixture resembles thick pancake batter.

Divide the batter into two equal portions. Spread each portion onto a lightly oiled baking tray, shaping it into a round pizza base approximately 2 cm (¾ inch) thick.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 20 minutes. Remove the crusts from the oven and top them with sliced tomatoes, diced or julienned sausage, grated cheese, and mayonnaise. Finish with a generous sprinkle of dried oregano seasoning.

Return the pizzas to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and turned golden. Serve immediately while hot.

Tips:

For even more flavor, you can also add dried dill, parsley, or basil to the topping. Instead of regular table salt, try using Svanetian salt, which provides a richer, more aromatic flavor while helping reduce sodium intake.

These seasonings, along with many other premium herbs and spices, are available in the CraftOil online store.
