Servings 6
Equipment
- Electric coffee/spice grinder*
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (100 g) sunflower seeds (see notes)
- 2 tsp psyllium husk powder
- 1 (230 g) zucchini
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning (optional, but recommended)
- 1/2-3/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast for flavor
Instructions
- Watch the video in the post for visual instructions.Grate the zucchini and squeeze out the excess liquid (I used a nut milk bag). My zucchini weighed 230 g before squeezing and 170 g after.
- Also, preheat the oven to 360 degrees F (180 C) and line a baking sheet with oiled parchment paper (or use a silicone mat).
- Grind the sunflower seeds and add the psyllium husk powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and nutritional yeast. Stir to combine.
- Add this mixture to the zucchini and use a spoon to mix everything together. Then mix with your hands until the dough holds together.
- Spread the dough with your fingers on the lined baking sheet and bake it in the oven for about 15 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown.Some ovens might need longer than others, the baking time also depends on how thick/thin you made the dough.
- Meanwhile, prepare your favorite toppings. I used tomato sauce, mushrooms, corn, and my homemade vegan cheese sauce.
- Top the pizza and bake it for 10-15 more minutes. Enjoy!If you just add a few toppings like vegan cheese and olives (for example) the pizza will be ready much faster than if you add lots of different veggies.
Notes
- Sunflower seeds: I used an electric spice/coffee grinder to grind the sunflower seeds (a blender should work too). You can use 100 g of store-bought sunflower seed flour or almond flour.
- Psyllium husk powder: I only made the recipe with the powder. If you have whole psyllium husk, you can use a grinder/blender or add more of it (4 teaspoons).
