Plus I LOVE spaghetti squash, especially when roasted using my ring method and it makes such a delicious pizza crust. I also love that this crust is made with flaxseed so it doesn’t require an egg or cheese to hold it together like many veggie-based pizza crusts.
Just the Good Stuff Cookbook
Just the Good Stuff proves that living a healthy lifestyle doesn’t mean adhering to restrictive diets or giving up all the foods you crave. Rachel includes over 100 recipes using better-for-you ingredients, such as grain-free flours, collagen peptides, and natural sweeteners. I’ve been flipping through the book and found so many recipes I want to try (hello sea salt dark chocolate peanut butter bars), but thought I’d start with this pizza crust.
A Healthy Swap
I’m not going to lie and tell you that this pizza is a perfect substitute for real deal pizza. In my opinion, no veggie-based pizzas compare to regular pizza crust BUT it’s still so yummy and has all the pizza flavor you crave. Plus, I love that it packs in so many veggies and the fact that it doesn’t leave you feeling bloated and groggy after a few pieces. One thing to note with this variation is that the crust doesn’t get super hard or crispy so you’ll likely need a fork and knife to eat it. That said, I personally really like the texture!
Customize Your Pizza
I kept the toppings simple for my version, but you should make this pizza your own! You can add whatever toppings you like. I’ve tried this pizza a few ways and they were all delicious. Here are some ideas:
Traditional pizza sauce + shredded mozzarella + fresh basilWith herbed cashew cheese from Rachel’s cookbook… I made this and it’s so good!Pesto + roasted veggiesBBQ sauce + chicken + caramelized onionsBreakfast pizza with eggs + cheese + turkey baconSautéed greens + chicken sausage + fresh mozzarella
