I researched a couple of recipes and took some ingredients from each, and kind of just measured everything out by eye.
The recipe is very simple. Here is what you will need:
- 2-3 zucchini's (depending on how many people you are feeding)
- Garlic powder or freshly chopped garlic
- Grated fresh mozzarella
- Grated fresh Parmesan cheese
- 1-2 eggs (also depending on how many zucchini's you use... I only used 1 egg)
- Corn starch (to help thicken up your zucchini crust)
- Salt & Pepper
- Red Pepper Flakes
- Chopped Parsley and Italian Breadcrumbs are optional (I did not use either of these, but some recipe's called for it)
Grate your zucchini's into a medium sized mixing bowl. Zucchini contains a lot of water, so you will have to use a cheese cloth or paper towels to squeeze the excess water out. Take your grated zucchini out of your mixing bowl to drain the excess water.
Once you have drained most of the water out, transfer your zucchini back into the mixing bowl. Add your egg(s), garlic powder, salt, pepper, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, about 1/3 cup of the Parmesan, corn starch, and mix together. With the corn starch, I put in a couple of tsps. You will know if you need to add more, because the mixture may start to turn a little watery.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer your zucchini mixture onto the paper, and form your crust in a rectangular shape with a spatula. Bake for 25 minutes.
Once your 25 minutes is up, take your crust out (it should be golden brown by this time). Add more mozzarella on top, red pepper flakes, and parsley (if you would like to add some extra color). Pop it back in the oven for another 8 minutes (or until cheese has melted completely).
You can heat up some marinara sauce for dipping, or whatever your heart desires. I did not dip it in anything and it was still so yummy! You don't even taste the zucchini!
Here is the finished product....
