Take away the guilt of having pizza with this amazingly simple recipe. Especially as it uses the over supply of zucchinis that usually happens every summer.

- 250 grams grated zucchini
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup wholemeal self raising flour
- 1 tsp chicory inulin powder optional for extra fibre
Heat oven to 180C and line baking trays with baking paper.
Place grated zucchini in a sieve or colander and sprinkle a teaspoon of salt over. Mix it through and leave to drain for 5 minutes. Squeeze as much moisture out as you can, and then place in your mixing bowl
mix in the eggs, flour and inulin powder. You might need a bit more flour depending on how wet the grated zucchini is. It will be runnier than you think when you put it on the tray
Pour batter onto your baking paper and make into a pizza base shape. Make sure that the zucchini is spread evenly throughout the egg mixture.
Bake for 10 minutes, then flip over and bake for another 5.
At this point they can be frozen. They will keep for 3 months in the freezer.
Add your topping and pop back in the oven for another 10 minutes.
