Spaghetti Squash Pizza Crust

Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time1 hour 10 minutes
Total Time1 hour 15 minutes
Servings: 2 -4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Pizza toppings: tomato sauce, cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms, etc.

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cut the spaghetti squash in half and place cut side down on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes until the squash is cooked through and the skin is soft when you press on it.**
  • Remove the seeds, and use a fork to loosen the spaghetti squash threads. Rest until cool enough to handle.
  • Once the squash has cooled, remove the threads and wrap them in a kitchen towel, paper towel, or a cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much water as possible. This may take some time and muscle. Make sure to leave the least bit of moisture to ensure a crispy crust.
  • Place the threads in a large bowl, and add coconut flour, egg, oregano, garlic power, salt, and pepper. Mix well with your hands.
  • Place a parchment on a baking sheet. Pour the dough mixture on the parchment paper and press it into a thin even layer, about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the edges start to brown.
  • Remove from oven and top with tomato sauce and your favorite pizza toppings.
  • Bake for additional 10 minutes.
  • Cool for 5 minutes before slicing and enjoying!

Notes

**If you have an Instant Pot, cook the spaghetti squash using the following method: Place the steamer rack that came with the Instant Pot in the pot, and pour in 1 cup of water. Place the whole spaghetti squash, uncut, on the rack. Screw on the lid, make sure the pressure valve is closed, then cook for 20 minutes on manual.
