Margherita Pizza with Spaghetti Squash Crust

Total Time15 minutes

Ingredients

  • I used several varieties of tomatoes fresh basil, fresh thyme, fresh minced garlic, sea salt and pepper. That’s it!

Other Options:

  • A thin layer of store bought all natural (low sugar) marinara.
  • Fresh all-natural slices of Mozzarella cheese.
  • Fresh Parmesan cheese.
  • Cooked crumbled lean ground meat, such as turkey, seasoned with Italian seasonings.

Instructions

  • Cut a medium spaghetti squash in half, scoop out seeds.
  • Very lightly coat the inside with olive oil.
  • Bake @375 degrees f skin side up, on a flat sheet pan for about 45 minutes.
  • Cool
  • Use a fork to shred “spaghetti” out of the skin.
  • Use paper towels to soak up moisture. This is VERY important.
  • If there is moisture left in the squash, you will have soggy crust.
  • In a large bowl, mix squash, 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasonings.
  • Spread crust mixture very thin on a parchment or foil (foil=crisper) pizza sheet pan.
  • I will try my pan coated in olive oil next time, instead of parchment (hoping for crisper crust.)
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees f.
  • Bake 20-25 minutes until edges are browning.
