The good news is that you can (sorta) get your pizza fix even on a healthy diet. This recipe is full of cheesy deliciousness that won't break the calorie bank.
You'll need:
1 small yellow zucchini
1 small green zucchini
1/2c fat free ricotta
1/2c fat free shredded mozzarella
1 small jar pizza sauce (you won't use all of it, so definitely get a jar— not a can—then you can close it up and use the rest another time)
fresh basil
fresh ground salt and pepper
Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray and preheat your oven to 400°.
Slice the zucchini thin (about 1/8" thickness) and lay out half of the slices—preferrably the bigger ones—onto the baking tray for the bases. Top each slice with an equal amount of ricotta till gone, then with a tiny dollop of sauce, then a little bit of mozzarella. Layer again, this time with the smaller zucchini slices, a little more sauce, and the rest of the shredded mozzarella. Be careful not to overdo it with the sauce, otherwise you'll end up with a sloppy mess, not to mention a boatload of added sodium and carbs that you don't want.
Put the pizza stacks in the oven for about 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve topped with fresh ground salt, pepper and a piece of fresh basil on each stack.
Provides 1 person a satisfying meal, with the usual 27g of protein, nada on the fat spectrum, and super low on the carb-o-meter.
