3- Combine the eggs, mozzarella, coconut flour and 1/2 tsp sea salt in a large bowl.
4- When the zucchini is done, pat them dry as well as possible with paper towels. Mix into the bowl.
5- Spread the zucchini pizza dough into the pizza pan. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until there are brown spots on the top. (The time will depend on the thickness of the zucchini pizza crust.)
6- Remove the zucchini pizza crust from the oven. Increase the oven temperature to 400ºF /200ºC and let it preheat.
7- Let the crust rest for 10 minutes at room temperature, then top with marinara sauce and your favorite toppings.

Tips to make the best Zucchini Pizza Crust
- Make sure you remove all liquid from the zucchini. Dry zucchini will help to make the crust more firm.
Spread the zucchini crust to be about 10 inches in diameter on your pizza pan and bake it until it is firm and golden brown. - Top with marinara sauce and spread about 2 inches from the edge. Add your favorite toppings and sprinkle with dried oregano or Italian seasoning and bake until bubbly.
- Add the shredded zucchini to a colander. Sprinkle the zucchini with salt and let it sit for 20 minutes. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- You can also wring them out by placing them into a paper towel and twisting until dry and excess water has been removed.
