How I Made An Easy Guilt-Free Zucchini Crust Diet Pizza

Why I Love This Zucchini Pizza

I created this diet pizza recipe when I was looking for lower-fat meals that would be cholesterol-free, oil-free and contain as many vegetables as possible. I found myself with a large zucchini (of course it got away from me in the garden - whoops!), and I wanted to use as much of this in one meal as possible.

In general, I've tried many crusts in the past, they were plain, soggy, and always left me wanting pizza. This pizza crust will hold up to sauce and toppings! As a bonus, if you reheat the pizza in a pan, you will find the bottom of the crust browns nicely.


Why Zucchini Pizza?


To start, zucchini is a great veggie that can be used in many ways. This recipe uses zucchini in the crust and the sauce. I bet even frozen zucchini would work well in this recipe. Isn't it amazing what you can create in the kitchen?


You may be wondering why I chose flax and chia seeds for this recipe. Both chia & flax are low in calories compared to the nutritional benefits. They both contain fiber which will help keep you full longer, and flax seeds may help lower cholesterol. Chia & flax seeds help soak up the water from the zucchini which makes the dough more like a real pizza dough!

If you are looking for a cholesterol-free lighter take on pizza, give this zucchini pizza recipe a try and let me know what you think! Tag me on Instagram with your pizza creation!
