Crust

Pictures: Shown
  1. Preheat your oven to 400F. Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Add the spaghetti squash to a paper towel, and squeeze out as much water as possible.
  3. Mix together spaghetti squash, egg, mozzarella, parmesan, garlic, and oregano in a large bowl.
    1. Evenly divide the mixture into 4 portions, about 70 g each. Shape each portion into an 8" round, about 1/8" thick.
    1. Bake at 400F for about 25 minutes, flipping halfway, or until browned.
    1. Top your cooked crust with sauce (2 tbsp, 32 g per pizza) and cheese (1/2 oz, 14 g per pizza).
    1. Increase your oven temperature to 450F. Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the sauce is hot and the cheese is melted.
    1. Let the pizzas cool for 5 minutes before cutting into 4 slices each.
    1. To reheat, air fry at 400F for 3-5 minutes, or until warm and crispy.
    Notes
    1. My 2 cups (310 g) of cooked spaghetti squash weighed about 120 g after squeezing out the water.
    2. Low moisture part skim mozzarella can also be used in place of fat free.
