Pizza but Make It Light and Veggie-Based
Who doesn’t love pizza? Some of us could eat it every single day! But because traditional pizza is quite a rich dish, it’s often enjoyed no more than once a week. That’s why we’ve come up with a light and delightful alternative you can enjoy more frequently, how?
We’ve swapped the classic dough for a delicious oven-baked zucchini crust! Topped with rich Mutti Pasta Sauce with Basil and gooey plant-based cheese, this vegetable-based version will surprise you with its flavor and lightness.
It’s also gluten-free and 100% plant-based, making it suitable for everyone.
Customize It Your Way!
This zucchini base is delicious on its own with tomato sauce and melty cheese, but feel free to get creative with toppings. Add mushrooms, arugula, or your favorite plant-based deli slices for a more rustic and satisfying experience. For an even more nutritious option, you can add a protein source such as grilled tofu or crunchy legumes. Perfect for a light lunch, a tasty dinner or even as finger food to slice into squares and serve to guests. Customizable, flavorful and healthy: here is our Mutti-style gluten-free zucchini pizza!

gluten-free zucchini pizza: Method
- In a small bowl, combine the chickpea flour and water. Stir until you achieve a smooth batter. Set aside.
- Trim the ends of the zucchini, then grate them using a medium grater.
- Transfer the grated zucchini to a fine cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible, this step is crucial for the right texture.
- Place the drained zucchini in a large bowl. Add the chickpea batter, cornstarch, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly until you get a compact but slightly sticky mixture.
- Form the mixture into a ball and place it in the center of a baking tray lined with parchment paper and lightly oiled. Flatten it using your fingertips into a thin, even round.
- Bake in a preheated static oven at 220°C (430°F) for about 18–20 minutes, or until lightly golden and set.
- Remove the zucchini base from the oven. Spread the Mutti Pasta Sauce with Basil over the surface, leaving a small border. Top with the plant-based melting cheese. Return to the oven for an additional 2–3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Let the zucchini pizza rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil.
