Gluten free no flour pizza? Here is a different healthy pizza made with a courgette crust. As part of the Tesco Orchard Programme, I was sent some vouchers for Fresh Vegetables or Fruit, so I purchases some Fresh Courgettes, Closed Cup Mushrooms, Yellow Pepper, Cherry Tomatos, Rocket Leaves and some Bananas ( I’ve made some Banana Chocolate muffins to be posted later this week). With all these vegetables I decided to make a fully vegetable pizza, including the base!
I now love adding a little rocket over my pizza in the ‘Pizza Express’ style, just adds that little extra flavour somehow. All the vegetables were fresh and crisp and as a vegetarian I do love vegetables, specially flavourful and fresh vegetables.
