Ingredients
1 medium zucchini shreddedsalt1 egg1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese1 clove garlic, crushed
Directions
Salt the zucchini and place in a colander. Let it sit in the sink for 15 to 20 min. Rinse well and drain. Place zucchini between several layers of paper towels and press out the moisture. Keep changing the paper towels until most of the moisture is out. Place zucchini in a bowl and mix in the egg, cheese and clove of garlic.

Spray an 8×8 pan with non-stick spray and pat the zucchini mixture in the bottom of the pan. Bake at 400 degrees about 15 minutes (I forgot to time how long I baked it so keep a close eye on it) until the edges are brown and it is set.

Then you are ready to take it out and put on the toppings. This recipe and nutritional info does NOT include toppings.
Put it back in the oven and bake until the cheese is brown and bubbling. This will serve two people.

    I didn't have high hopes for this recipe, but I was desperate for pizza and this beat the alternative...some yucky rice crust. My mom currently has zucchini in major abundance, so I gave it a shot. Delicious! I think now I'll even try zucchini lasagna with grated zucchini. Thanks for sharing. :) - 6/26/10

    My boyfriend said that if he could give this recipe 6 stars, he'd give it 7! Changes: I realized I used small zucchini and had barely any crust, so I added cooked spaghetti squash that I had lying around. Also, doubled the recipe. Baked on a cookie sheet with a greased piece of tin foil. AWESOME! - 3/1/12

    I had to make a few changes - 1. I did not do the salt treatment to draw out any moisture. Just hand squeezed the shredded zucc. 2. am out of parmesan so subbed in some feather shredded colby/jack. I pressed the mixture out onto a parchment lined cookie sheet and baked it according to directions. - 6/15/11

    disappointed . . .I expected a crust that wasn't soft and moist. Did I do something wrong? Don't get me wrong, this was DELICIOUS but more like a thin casserole with pizza toppings. The best part was the brown crispy edges. Any ideas or comments would be appreciated. - 2/26/21
