Crust:

  • 2 Medium Zucchini grated
  • 1/4 cup Mozzarella cheese 2%, shredded
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese shredded
  • 1/4 cup Oats pulsed in a food processor into a coarse flour
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano
  • 1 Large Egg

Sauce:

  • 1 teaspoon Olive oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1/2 Medium Onion diced
  • 21 oz Canned petite diced tomatoes (1 1/2 14 ounce cans)
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper

Toppings:

  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 Medium Bell pepper chopped
  • 1/2 Medium Onion chopped
  • 8 oz Baby bella mushrooms Sliced
  • 1/4 cup Mozzarella cheese 2%, shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large saute pan and add pepper, onion, and mushrooms to the pan. Saute for about 6-8 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. (When done, set aside in bowl and leave pan out to make sauce).
  • Meanwhile, grate zucchini into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 4 minutes. Let cool and then drain zucchini of as much water as possible.
  • Add remaining crust ingredients to bowl and mix until blended.
  • Spray pan generously with nonstick cooking spray. Divide crust mixture in two and use to make two mini pizza crusts. Flatten out using your fingers.
  • Place crust in oven and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until crisp.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tsp olive oil in the same pan you used for the vegetables. Add onion and garlic and saute until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add diced tomatoes, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper. Simmer for about 15 minutes.
  • When crusts are crisp, top with sauce, veggies, and cheese (split 1/4 cup between both pizzas). Pop back in the oven for a few minutes until cheese is melted, then enjoy!
