This textured soy pizza uses a zucchini base instead of dough: a simple zucchini pizza to switch things up without complicating your time in the kitchen. I love the combination of sautéed peppers with melted cheese, oregano, and that kick of cayenne that you can adjust to your liking.

If you're looking for a fresh take on pizza with textured soy, this recipe is a great fit for a veggie-packed lunch or dinner. It's designed for one person and comes together in 40 minutes. Slicing the zucchini thinly with a mandoline creates an even base, and the melted cheese ties all the toppings together.

To keep cooking with zucchini, I recommend my Zucchini noodles with textured soy and my Zucchini pizza with cheese and onion, two great ways to mix up your weekly menu.

Frequently asked questions

How should I store any leftover zucchini pizza?

Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy it within two days. When reheating, keep in mind that the zucchini may release a bit of water, making the crust softer.

Can I replace the high-protein cheese with another cheese?

Yes, you can use shredded mozzarella or any other good melting cheese. If you use fresh mozzarella, drain it thoroughly first so you don't add extra moisture to the zucchini base.

Do I need to rehydrate the textured soy before using it?

If you're using dry textured soy, rehydrate it according to the package instructions and drain it thoroughly before adding it. That way it softens up without bringing excess liquid into your pizza.
