A flourless pizza full of veggies
Shredded zucchini is the surprise base ingredient in this pizza crust
recipe. This green summer veggie gives it a whole new spin and keeps
pizza healthy.
We enjoy experimenting with fun recipes in our home, and this one has
become a favorite of my family. I think almost everyone has heard of or
is familiar with similar recipes using vegetables in place of flour in
pizza recipes, and when I came across this one, I knew it was a
must-try. If you love zucchini, this is definitely a great recipe to add
to your dinner rotation. And as a parent, the best part is that kids
will never even notice the crust is made from vegetables.
