Zucchini Flatbread Recipe: Low-Carb, High-Protein

zucchini flatbread

I’m always on the hunt for a low-carb, guilt-free bread that acts as a worthy vessel for all kinds of delicious toppings, such as veggies, cheese, or a slab of real butter. The following recipe is a low-carb, literally zucchini-based flatbread that takes the white flour and yeast out of the occasion and sticks to the binding powers of eggs. The result is a few-ingredient flatbread that holds its own (if you’re careful), and can roll around, wrap up, or bolster all types of add-ins/ons. Because the spices are reminiscent of pizza, I best enjoy this zucchini flatbread by dipping it in homemade marinara sauce.

The glow factor:

Zucchini: has only 36 calories and 10% of the recommended daily allowance of dietary fiber in just one cup, lowers cholesterol by attaching to bile acids and aiding in digesting fat, contributes to “regularity”, prevents cancer with its high antioxidant content, aids prostate health, is high in manganese (19% of the recommended daily allowance in one cup), lowers blood pressure, is anti-inflammatory with its vitamin A and C content, and prevents heart attack and stroke.
