Gluten Free Veggie Crust Pan Pizza

mains / gluten free / grain free / low carb

Pan pizza made with a gluten free crust featuring zucchini, sweet potatoes, and almond flour.

I’m just over here trying to think of ways to eat pizza every day and not have to feel any guilt about it, don’t mind me! This pizza really does do the trick though. It’s loaded with veggies and is super low carb. I love being able to make this in under 20 minutes and I end up with an easy cleanup and deliciously crispy pizza.

Here’s what you’ll need for this Gluten Free Veggie Crust Pan Pizza:

• sweet potato

• zucchini

• almond flour

• egg

• salt

• pepper

• garlic powder

• oregano

• avocado oil

• marinara - I use my Nonnie’s Marinara Recipe

• shredded mozzarella

• spinach

• pepperoni

• red pepper flakes

After shredding the sweet potato and zucchini, you will combine it with the almond flour, egg, and spices. Heat the avocado oil in your pan and pour the batter into it. Let it crisp on the bottom, and then carefully flip it to get the other side crispy. Top it with the marinara, spinach, shredded cheese, and pepperoni. Cover the pan so the cheese can get melty. Serve it with some red pepper flakes or whatever other topping your heart desires!
