Zucchini Crust pizza 

I am always looking for healthy alternatives to some of Greg and I's favorite meals. If you're like Greg and your love for pizza runs deep, this recipe is for you. Who doesn't love a pizza recipe that is healthy enough to eat once a week? If not twice. The crust is crispy on the bottom and rises slightly to resemble a bread like consistency. Not only that, it is incredibly easy to prepare and only takes a few ingredients. 

Ingredients: 
5 Cups grated zucchini
2 Eggs, beaten
2 cups Almond flour
5 Cloves of garlic, minced
1 Cup Parmesan cheese 
2 Tbsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp Onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions: 
1. Using a cheese grater, grate the zucchini into a colander. Generously salt the zucchini and set in the sink for at least 15 minutes. The zucchini will release water which is crucial to remove before preparing the crust. Place the zucchini into a large hand towel, ring out the remaining water until no more water drips from the towel.

2. In a dry bowl, mix the zucchini and the remaining ingredients together. 
3. Preheat your oven to 500 degrees. Place an oiled pizza stone in the oven and allow it to get hot for about 10 minutes. 
4. Once the stone is hot, place the zucchini mixture in the middle and press it down into the shape of a pizza. 
5. Bake in oven until the top of the pizza starts to brown and the bottom is crispy. 
6. Top the pizza with whatever your heart desires and finish for about 5-10 minutes in the oven. 
7. Let the pizza sit on the stone for a few minutes after it's done to set the crust. 

If you love pizza, you will absolutely love this. Greg swears you can't even tell it's not real pizza crust. Enjoy!
