Spaghetti Squash Pizza Crust
This Spaghetti Squash Pizza Crust uses roasted spaghetti squash combined with a flaxseed egg substitute and spices to form a gluten-free, vegetable-based pizza crust. The crust is shaped and baked until golden, then topped with traditional pizza ingredients like sauce, cheese, and fresh basil. It offers a lower-carb alternative to wheat crusts and features mild flavors enhanced by chili powder, garlic powder, and oregano.

Ingredients
- 1 spaghetti squash roasted (I used my ring method, large
- 1 Flaxseed 1 Tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 Tablespoons water, used as egg substitute
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano ground
Topping Ideas
- pizza sauce
- basil fresh leaves
- cheese dairy or non-dairy, grated or shredded
- chicken sausage sliced, or vegan sausage, cooked
- roasted veggies sliced
- crushed red pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the squash, flax egg, chili powder, garlic powder, and oregano.
- On the prepared baking sheet, form the squash mixture into a pizza of your desired shape, about 1 inch thick.
- Bake the crust just until it starts to turn golden, about 30 minutes. Remove it from the oven, add your desired toppings, and return it to the oven. I added pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella and fresh basil.
- Cook until the edges are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more. Slice and serve warm. Leftover pizza will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat it in the oven at 350°F.
