Zucchini Cheese Flatbread – Flourless, Low-Carb & Keto-Friendly
This may become your new favorite low-carb flatbread! Made with just zucchini and mozzarella, this flourless beauty bakes up golden and flexible — perfect for sandwiches, wraps, and everything in between.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1 ½ cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat and prep: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a medium baking sheet (or 2 smaller sheets) with parchment paper and set aside.
- Slice the zucchini: Slice zucchini (with skin on) into thin rounds (the thinner, the better).
- Layer the cheese and zucchini: Sprinkle all the cheese evenly over the parchment paper (it doesn't have to reach the ends). Place zucchini rounds on top of the cheese in a single layer. Mist zucchini tops with oil spray (*IMPORTANT NOTE: Hold spray bottle high over baking sheet to avoid a cheesy snowstorm).
- Add seasonings: Sprinkle on garlic powder and freshly ground black pepper.
- Bake: Roast in the oven for 18-20 minutes, until cheese is browned and bubbly.
- Cool and flip: Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Lift edges, flip, and you're ready to build your sandwich.
Notes
Storage: This is definitely best eaten fresh. But you can try to store in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 to 2 days (place a paper towel underneath). Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet to restore crispness.
Add flavor boosters: try Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan
Make It gluten-free: It already is! No flour required.
Make It Dairy-Free/Vegan: Use a high-quality shredded dairy-free mozzarella alternative that melts well. Results may be slightly softer, so bake a few minutes longer if needed. *I have not personally tried this recipe with a dairy-free cheese, so I don't know for sure that it works
Make it a sandwich: Load it up with 3 ounces of turkey, a couple of slices of tomato and red onion, ¼ avocado, and a handful of greens for the most delicious sammie!
