Using spaghetti squash to make pizza dough is seriously life changing! Such a yummy low carb alternative. Seriously, forget cauliflower crust - this veggie is where it's at!

Everyone has been making spaghetti with this squash, so why not try using it for a different Italian dish? It is seriously so easy and SO tasty. All the yummy flavors with less guilt!

I feel much lighter and super satisfied after having a couple slices. Top it with any of your favorite toppings. I opted for roasted peppers and onions - not super exciting, but my personal favs.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 F.
Slice the spaghetti squash in half, then drizzle with olive oil and season with kosher salt
Place face down on a lined or non-stick baking sheet
Roast for 30-40 minutes depending on size of squash. You want to be able to easily scoop out the strands.
Scoop out the spaghetti squash and measure 2 cups
Chop into smaller strands or quickly put in a food processor. I also like to strain the squash using a cheesecloth to release moisture (this makes the crust extra crispy!)
Place the squash in a bowl and combine with 1 egg, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, and 7 tbsp flour
Season with Italian seasoning, and garlic powder
Mix everything together and add more flour if needed (consistency should not be too sticky)
Put the ‘dough’ on a lined baking sheet and flatten it - Note that the flatter you get it, the crispier it will be! Aim for 1/2 inch thickness.
Place it in the oven for approximately 15 minutes then flip it
Top the pizza with sauce, cheese, and toppings of choice, then cook it for another 12-15 minutes
Enjoy!

The whole idea of not using dough is to get rid of the flour......even the little used here is too much.

  so use almond or coconut flour if you are gluten free.

I might try it but I will use fine almond flour instead of regular.
