Zucchini Pizza with Roasted Figs and Prosciutto

Zucchini Pizza with Roasted Figs and Prosciutto

When I saw fresh figs at the produce stand I immediately went home and began researching recipes.  I saw several recipes for pizzas and flat breads with figs, prosciutto, and different cheeses.  This pizza was light, sweet, and a perfect lunch.

Ingredients:

Zucchini Pizza Crust-

1 zucchini grated

¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

1 egg

¼ cup almond flour

1 clove garlic

Toppings-

1 cup figs halved

¼ red onion thinly sliced

3 slices prosciutto

½ cup shredded Monterrey jack cheese

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Line a small baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it with olive oil spray.
  2. Grate zucchini with a box grater.  Use a paper towel to squeeze out excess water.
  3. Add zucchini, mozzarella, parmesan, egg, garlic, and almond flour to a medium bowl.  Mix to combine.
  4. Use a spatula to flatten the crust on the baking sheet.
  5. Bake 10 minutes.
  6. Place another sheet of aluminum foil on top.  Place another baking sheet on top to allow you to flip over the crust so you can bake the other side. 
  7. Bake for 10 more minutes.
  8. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the crust.
  9. Add sliced red onions, figs, and prosciutto.
  10. Bake 10 more minutes to melt cheeses and crisp the prosciutto.
  11. Enjoy!
