Can I tell you something? I’m almost drooling just looking at a picture of this keto zucchini tart pizza. Yes, so true.

However, my other family members have not been as supportive as we pass a month of eating zucchini every day! Well, not quite, but close. The garden is particularly effusive this year. In fact, I have 6 zucchini currently sitting on my counter right now.

I didn’t always enjoy zucchini, but I’ve grown to love it! When I saw a zucchini tart while scanning through Pinterest, I immediately knew I had to make it keto. Truly, I love this dish, and you have to taste to believe me!

At least I won my husband over with it!

So let’s get to it. How do you make a keto zucchini tart pizza?

What makes a tasty meal? A good recipe and mix of flavor. What else?

Good quality ingredients.

When you select your groceries, read the labels and buy organic whenever possible. I recently discovered one of the cans of tomato sauce I’d bought before had added sugar. Really?! It’s tomato sauce!

With zucchini, you can’t get much better than your own garden. However, it’s also good to get at the farmer’s market or select organic at the grocery store.

🔪 Instructions

To make a keto zucchini tart pizza, there are three main components. The first is the almond flour fathead crust. Second, make the easy creamy garlic herbed filling. Last, top it all off with the sliced zucchini, salt and pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.

💭 Top tip: how to prep zucchini

First of all, it’s important to prep the zucchini. Do this before anything else so it has time to drain the liquid out while the other steps are completed.

Slice the zucchini into rounds about 1/8 of an inch thick, using a mandoline slicer or knife. I love my mandoline slicer and have it out almost all the time during this season of zucchini and cucumber. It was definitely a good purchase for me!

Next, place the zucchini slices in a colander and sprinkle generously with salt. Mix them up with a spoon or spatula. Then let it sit and drain while the other components are prepared.

How to make the keto crust

I’m using the same recipe for the tart crust as my go-to keto pizza crust. It’s a fabulous fathead crust, which simply means it’s made with shredded cheese among other ingredients. This version has butter and almond flour and always turns out well!

To begin, melt the mozzarella cheese and butter in the microwave for thirty seconds. Then, stir it together a bit and if it’s not melted, return to the microwave for 30 more seconds.

If you don’t have a microwave or don’t like using one, this process can also be done on the stovetop. Put the butter in a saucepan first, then the cheese, and melt it on medium-low heat. You should get the same result.

After that, use a mixer to blend the mozzarella cheese and butter together. Then slowly add in the almond flour and salt and mix it together until completely incorporated.

After that, add in the eggs one at a time while mixing until it forms into a sticky dough.

Then, place the dough on a silicone mat or oiled parchment paper and roll it out into a large pizza-sized circle. Or sometimes I like to just use my fingertips to push the dough down and spread it out into the circle. Set aside for now.

At this point, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. On to the filling.

Garlic herbed filling

First, take a medium-sized bowl and measure in the mayo, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper. Next, mix it all together with a hand mixer or with a fork until completely combined.

Then, spread the mixture on top of the crust dough, leaving about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch of crust around the outside bare.

Topping

Now it’s time to complete the topping and finishing touches.

Take the zucchini out of the colander and pat it dry with kitchen towels or tea towels. Personally, I like to place a towel on the counter, lay out the zucchini rounds, and then put another towel on top. This makes it easy to soak out the extra moisture.

After that, place the zucchini rounds overlapping on the filling. Begin by making a circle starting from the outside round and working into the middle.

The tart should be completely covered with zucchini when the last round is placed in the middle.

After that, drizzle the top with olive oil and then lightly sprinkle on salt and pepper.

⏲️ Baking time

I love how the keto zucchini pizza looks at this point. Step back and admire your work.

Now, it’s ready to go in the oven. Bake it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 to 40 minutes or until the edges begin to brown. Remove it from the oven, slice, and enjoy!

I like to eat a slice on it’s own for lunch or even add a side salad for a summery meal.

Oh, and bonus! Look how well the bottom of the crust bakes. No soggy bottoms here!

🥣 How to store keto zucchini tart pizza

If for some reason the keto zucchini pizza is not consumed after one dinner, they keep well. Or maybe you want to freeze them in individual servings for future quick meals. This is something I do often.

The keto zucchini tart pizza will keep in an airtight container for five to six days in the refrigerator.

For the freezer, use freezer bags or freezer-approved air-tight containers. Divide into slices, place each in a bag or container, seal, and stack in the freezer. They will be good for up to about a month.

🍲 Variations

As I mentioned before, this is my go-to keto pizza crust. Therefore, you can top it with just about anything you’d like. Make a traditional pizza with sugar-free marinara sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni. Or maybe you’re more in a chicken and garlic sort of mood.

Also, it’s easy to change up the filling in the zucchini version. A keto white Alfredo sauce can work well. Or maybe you have dill or other fresh herbs in your garden. Try those out instead of the thyme. It’s fun to mix things up a bit.
