Description
A low-carb, flavorful alternative to traditional pizza, featuring a crispy spaghetti squash crust topped with your favorite ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
- Pizza toppings of choice: pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella, pepperonis
Instructions
- Microwave the whole spaghetti squash for five minutes. Flip it over and cook for another five minutes. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the squash in half and scoop out the seeds.
- Use a fork to shred the squash flesh into “noodles.” Place the shredded squash in a clean kitchen towel to wring out as much excess moisture as possible.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with cooking spray.
- Whisk together the eggs, Kosher salt, Italian seasoning, and grated parmesan cheese in a large bowl.
- Mix the shredded spaghetti squash into the egg mixture until well combined.
- Press the mixture into a 10” circle on the parchment-lined baking sheet, smoothing the top evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
- Remove the crust from the oven and spread it with pizza sauce. Top with mozzarella and desired toppings.
- Return the pizza to the oven for an additional 10-12 minutes or until the cheese melts beautifully.
- Allow the pizza to cool briefly before slicing and enjoying every flavor-packed bite.
Notes
Experiment with different toppings and cheeses for a unique twist on this recipe. Wringing out the moisture from the spaghetti squash is crucial for a crispy crust.
