Ingredients
- 1
large spaghetti squash, halved and seeds scraped out
- 3
large eggs
- 1/2 tsp.
garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp.
dried oregano
- 1 cup
shredded mozzarella
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Cooking spray
- 1/2 cup
marinara or pizza sauce
- 6 oz.
Mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced into rounds
- 1/4 cup
cherry or grape tomatoes, thinly sliced
Fresh basil leaves, sliced, for serving
Directions
- Step 1Preheat oven to 425°. Arrange squash cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet, bake until tender, about 1 hour. Let cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, use a fork to remove flesh from peel.
- Step 2Place squash in a towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible; discard liquid.
- Step 3In a large bowl, whisk eggs with garlic powder and oregano until combined. Fold in drained squash and shredded mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper.
- Step 4Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and grease with cooking spray. Spread squash into a rectangle about ½-inch thin. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
- Step 5Switch oven to broil. Spread sauce over crust and top with sliced mozzarella and cherry tomatoes. Remove parchment from underneath pizza and broil until cheese is golden in spots and bubbly, about 4 minutes more.
- Step 6Sprinkle basil over top, slice, and serve.
