Who says pizza has to be a cheat food? Try this tasty version and enjoy a healthy, guilt free lunch or dinner. Since this is one of our favorite foods, I just had to find a better way.

What you need
For Pizza crust:

  • 3 medium zucchini, grated – per cup
  • 1 egg, & 4 egg whites
  • 1 cup White Beans or Black Eyed Peas (mashed/blended to make a smooth consistency) if you want to make this even lower in carbs use 1 cup cooked and mashed cauliflower
  • Salt & pepper to your preference

For toppings:

  • 1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (look for low carb/low sugar)
  • 1 tsp. dry oregano
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • ½ onion
  • 2 cup spinach
  • 1 cup mushrooms
  • ½ red pepper
  • 6 oz. chicken cooked breast
  • 45g goat cheese (optional)

What you do:

  • Preheat oven to 375F.
  • Spray a pizza pan with cooking spray (I just use a few pie trays and make individual pizzas).
  • Mix well grated zucchini, beans (or cauliflower) with egg and egg whites (or blend together), salt and pepper
  • Place zucchini/bean mixture on the pizza pan spreading out to the edges of the pan.
  • Bake at 375F for 30 minutes.
  • Make pizza sauce by combining tomato sauce with oregano and garlic powder (add anything else you like). Spread pizza sauce on partially-cooked “crust” to within about 1/2 inch of the edge.
  • Dice veggies and chicken and mix with goat cheese. Add toppings to the pizza.
  • Bake for another 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and veggies are tender and cooked to your liking.
  • You can really experiment with this recipe by adding a variation of toppings and spices. Get inspirations from traditional pizza toppings and try – BBQ pizza, meat lovers etc.
  • If you use pie trays, you can simply cover with foil and store in the fridge which makes it very convenient to grab one and go.
