A low-carb, delicious recipe for all of those garden zucchinis.
Steph ReedIngredients
- 2-3 Garden Zucchini
- 3 tbsp Melted butter or olive oil
- 1/2 tsp Granulated Garlic
- 1/2 tsp Granulated Onion
- 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
- 3-4 tbsp Chopped Basil
- 1 cup Prepared Pizza or Tomato Sauce
- 1/2 cup Chopped Pepperoni Slices
- 3 cup Shredded Mozzarella
- Kosher Salt
Instructions
- 1Start by slicing the zucchini into 1/4 inch thick rounds and place in an even layer on two baking sheets. Sprinkle with salt and allow to sit for 20 minutes – this will draw out some of the moisture. Pat zucchini dry with paper towels after the time is up.
- 2Preheat air fryer to 400° or oven to 425°. I love using my air fryer oven for recipes like these.
- 3In a small bowl, mix butter/olive oil with the granulated onion and garlic. Lightly coat the bottom of each zucchini with the seasoned oil mixture.
- 4Assemble the pizzas starting with a light spread of tomato sauce. Add a layer of shredded mozzarella and top with chopped pepperoni slices. Sprinkle each pizza with Italian seasoning before placing in the air-fryer or oven.
- 5Cook for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Finish with freshly chopped basil and serve.

Quick Tips
- 1
Preheat the pan hot
Get your oven and baking sheet or stone to 475°F for at least 20 minutes so the bottom crust sets fast instead of going soggy.
- 2
Salt the zucchini first
Slice rounds, salt them, and let them sit 10 minutes, then blot dry so the topping doesn't slide off in a puddle.
- 3
Let the dough rest
After mixing, cover homemade dough and let it sit 30 to 60 minutes so it stretches instead of snapping back.
- 4
Go light on sauce
About 1/3 cup of sauce per 12-inch crust is plenty; more than that steams the center and leaves it limp.
