Crustless Zucchini Pizza with Sausage and Peppers
This crustless zucchini pizza is a quick and easy way to get your veggie fix. The zucchini is shredded and then baked until tender, creating a crispy crust that can be topped with your favorite pizza toppings. We love it with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, bell peppers, and onion, but you can customize it to your liking.
I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some leftover zucchini. I had tried making zucchini bread before, but I wasn't a huge fan of the texture. I wanted something that was more like a pizza, but without the bread. So I shredded the zucchini and baked it on a baking sheet until it was tender. The result was a crispy, flavorful crust that was perfect for topping with my favorite pizza toppings. I've been making this recipe ever since, and it's always a hit with my family and friends.
