Pizza de Calabacín is a delightful vegan twist on traditional pizza, featuring a thin, crispy zucchini base topped with fresh vegetables and savory herbs. This dish is not only flavorful but also packed with nutrients, making it a perfect meal for any time of the day.

Ingredients

• Zucchini - 400 grams
• Almond flour - 60 grams
• Ground flaxseed - 2 tablespoons
• Water - 6 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cherry tomatoes - 150 grams, halved
• Bell pepper - 1 medium, diced
• Red onion - 1/2 medium, thinly sliced
• Nutritional yeast - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh basil - for garnish

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, almond flour, ground flaxseed, olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Add the water gradually, mixing until a dough forms. If it's too sticky, add a bit more almond flour.
5. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and press it into a thin, even layer, shaping it into a pizza crust.
6. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until it is golden brown and firm to the touch.
7. While the crust is baking, prepare the toppings by mixing the cherry tomatoes, diced bell pepper, and sliced red onion in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
8. Once the crust is done, remove it from the oven and sprinkle the nutritional yeast evenly over the top.
9. Spread the vegetable mixture over the crust, ensuring an even distribution.
10. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
11. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil, slice, and serve warm.
