Okay, I made some tweaks to a recipe found here.
If I could do things different, I'd find 1) a sauce that's lower in
sodium 2) use whole-wheat flour. Originally it was gluten-free and
vegan, but it simply wasn't sticking together, even with the egg. I
suppose you could add Parmesan cheese, but but there's so much fat in
cheese, I'm trying to stay low-dairy over-all. And I totally forgot the
yeast, but I added lots of seasoning to give it more flavor. This is
definitely one of those dishes that will make a messy kitchen. This is
for one personal pizza, I edited the original author's quantities, but
it's filling enough for 2 if you make sweet potato chips to go along
with it! (just sliced, with paprika, parsley, pepper, very very little
salt, very little EVOO). I could have added cheese to the crust, This
was higher in calories than I expected, but I had a lower-calorie day
over-all, and still came in under 1200 calories. My personal goal
(because I'm higher in weight) is around 1800, even though My Fitness
Pal says over 2200. I would have also added more veggies to the
toppings, but this is what I had available...
Traci's Zucchini Quinoa Pizza
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup dry, Quinoa
- 0.25 cup(s), Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
-
1 tsp(s), Baking Powder
-
0.25 tsp(s), Salt, table
-
0.25 tsp(s), Spices - Pepper, black
-
1 egg, Large Egg - Generic
-
1 tsp(s), Peppers, sweet, red, raw
- 1 tsp, Italian Seasoning
-
0.50 cup(124g), Italian Sausage and Peppers pasta sauce
-
4 oz, 4 oz Chicken Breast (grilled with basil)
-
2 clove(s), Garlic
-
2 piece, low fat mozzarella string cheese
-
0.50 cup(s), White All Purpose Flour
-
1 small zucchini grated
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
- Place the quinoa into a bowl and cover with boiling water, let sit for 5-10 mins and drain, but do not dry.
- Place
the zucchini, quinoa, oats, baking powder, salt, egg, italian
seasoning, pepper, garlic, and flour into a high powdered blender or
food processor and blend until smooth.
- Slightly oil a pizza pan (or a cookie sheet if you wanna be fancy like I was!) and pour the "batter" onto the pan.
- Spread
to a thin fairly uniform layer and place in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
Flip the crust and cook the other side for the same amount of time.
(When you flip it might break a little bit or stick, don't worry, no one
said it has to be perfect!) It's going to brown a bit, that's okay. (Mine was a little thicker, tasted great.)
- Take the pizza crust out of the oven and get ready to add the toppings! (just sliced up string cheese - that's all I had)
- Spread toppings of choice and
put into the oven for another 10-15 minutes until the edges start to
crisp.
