Italian Zucchini Bake

By: Carol Mieske

"Kids of all ages are sure to like this fun vegetarian spin on pizza! The recipe comes from Carol Mieske of Red Bluff, California. 'You can't even tell there's zucchini in this dish,' she notes. 'If you have meat eaters in your family, try adding turkey pepperoni or sausage.'"

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup egg substitute
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 teaspoons olive or canola oil
1 (15 ounce) can pizza sauce, divided
3/4 cup chopped green pepper
1/4 cup sliced ripe olives, drained
1 1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided

Directions

Place zucchini in a colander over a plate; sprinkle with salt and toss. Let stand for 15 minutes. Rinse and drain well.
