Spaghetti squash is one of those ingredients that can become so many things, but it’s usually a "pasta" type dish. Well, how about turning this vegetable that's rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants into a delicious pizza 🍕. Once you master this recipe, the toppings possibilities are endless!

Ingredients

- 4 cups cooked spaghetti squash (approximately 1 small squash)

- 1 large egg, lightly beaten

- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

- ½ tsp dried oregano

- ½ cup marinara sauce

- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

- 8 oz cooked chicken breast, sliced

- ¼ medium red onion, thinly sliced

- 5 fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a large baking sheet with a non-stick silicone baking mat (or with parchment paper that is lightly coated with oil). Set aside.

2. Using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, squeeze as much water as possible from spaghetti squash and place it in a medium mixing bowl.

3. Add egg, Parmesan cheese, and oregano to squash. Mix well to thoroughly combine.

4. Place the squash mixture in the center of the prepared baking sheet; use damp hands to press the mixtures into a thin circular shape, about ¼-inch thick and 10 inches across. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the top is dry and edges begin to brown. Remove from the oven.

5. Spread the marinara sauce in an even layer on the baked crust; top evenly with mozzarella cheese, chicken, and onion. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the onion softens slightly and the cheese melts.

6. Top with basil; cut in half. Divide evenly between two plates; serve with a side salad. This recipe makes 2 servings.
