Zucchini Crust Pizza Bake

 

First prepare the "crust":

• 3 medium zucchini, grated
• 1/3 cup Just Egg (or 2 eggs)
• 1 cup shredded fat free mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
• freshly ground black pepper

Spray a 9x13 glass baking dish with avocado oil spray.  Preheat oven to 400F.

Grate the zucchini using the grate tool on a food processor (or grate by hand).  Transfer grated zucchini to a colander.   Lightly season with salt, moving it around with a fork.  Let sit for 10 minutes.  Use paper towels or a dish towel to squeeze out any remaining moisture.  

In a bowl combine the grated zucchini, Just Egg (or eggs), shredded mozzarella, parmesan, garlic powder and crushed red pepper flakes and generously season with freshly ground black pepper.  Stir to combine.

Press the zucchini mixture into the sprayed baking dish.  Pop it into the oven for 25 minutes.

Get the topping prepared, while the crust is baking:

• 1 package Impossible LITE ground "beef"
• 1 link (from a package of 4), Beyond spicy Italian sausage, casing removed
• 1 medium red onion, chopped
• 1 tbsp. chopped garlic
• 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
• 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 - 15 oz. can tomato sauce
• 1 cup fat free mozzarella cheese
• 2 colorful bell peppers, chopped
• 1 bunch green onions, chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped vegan pepperoni

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and generously spray with avocado oil spray.  Add the chopped red onion, Impossible and sausage, using a wooden spoon to break the "meat" up, until it's cooked through, about 7 minutes.  Add the garlic, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes and stir to mix well.  Pour the tomato sauce into the pan and stir to combine.  Allow this mixture to simmer on low until the crust is out of the oven.

Once the zucchini is out of the oven, spoon the "meat" mixture over the top.  Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top and sprinkle the green onions, bell peppers and pepperoni over the top.

Pop the dish back into the oven and cook for 20 minutes.

Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.  Enjoy!
