Zucchini Noodle Pizza is a delightful vegan dish that combines the fresh flavors of Japanese cuisine with the comfort of pizza. This unique creation features spiralized zucchini as a base, topped with savory miso sauce, colorful vegetables, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Ingredients

• Zucchini - 2 medium-sized
• Miso paste - 2 tablespoons
• Water - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Spiralize the zucchini using a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler to create zucchini noodles.
