Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the veggie pizza crusts from the oven and, using the parchment paper, carefully flip the crusts over so the top is now face down directly on the baking sheet. Discard the parchment paper, return the crusts to the oven, and let them cook for another 5 minutes.
Top lightly with your pizza toppings and cook for a further 15 minutes.
Notes
To prepare the veggies:
Kale and Spinach: place in your food processor and blend until finely chopped. Squeeze out as much liquid as you can using your hands. Broccoli: add the florets and stems to your food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Optional step: roast in the oven for 10 minutes to dry the broccoli so you get a crisper pizza crust. Zucchini: grate using the small holes on your grater. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible, first using your hands and then with some paper towels.
