SQUASH PIZZA RECIPES

Steps:

• To quickly cook the spaghetti squash pierce it all over with a knife and microwave 5 minutes. Then continue to cook in 2 minute increments until the skin gives when pressed.
• Cut it open, remove the seeds and scrape the squash out with a fork.
• Place the cooked spaghetti squash in a clean cheesecloth or dish cloth and squeeze all the water out REALLY well.
• Preheat the oven to 375F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper and spray with oil.
• In a medium bowl, mix the spaghetti squash with the egg, mozzarella, Parmesan, oregano and garlic powder.
• Make 4 7-inch rounds on the prepared pan patting down so they are very thin, the thinner the crisper they will be.
• Spray the crust lightly with olive oil spray and bake for 15 minutes, until golden then carefully flip with a spatula. Bake 5 to 7 minutes more, until crisp.
• Prepare the pizza:

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Use a small paring knife to puncture the spaghetti squash a few times all over. Place on a baking sheet and bake until tender, about 1 hour. Let cool until cool enough to handle, then use a large knife to slice the squash open lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds with a fork and discard. Continue to use the fork to pull the flesh from its peel. (Leave the oven on.)
• Wrap the squash in a clean dishtowel and squeeze out all the excess water. (There will be quite a bit of water in the squash. It is important to squeeze out as much as you can so that the crust will have a better texture.)
• Whisk the eggs together with the shredded mozzarella and garlic salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the spaghetti squash until well combined.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer the squash to the center of the baking sheet and spread into a 10-inch circle. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Spread the pizza sauce on the crust and top with the desired toppings. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, an additional 10 minutes.
