Spaghetti Squash Pizza Bites

Healthy, low-carb pizza bites.  Need I say more?  Oh, they can be made dairy-free and are gluten-free!  These are spaghetti squash pizza bites.  If you liked Bagel Bites as a kid, these will give you a run for your money! You would never think the ‘crust’ is spaghetti squash and it gives off juicy and delicious flavors.

First I need to thank delish.com as I saw a similar recipe on their site and made some tweaks and adjustments to it for a fresh twist.

Ingredients

1 medium spaghetti squash
1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (or vegan cheese)
3/4 cup pure tomato sauce
2/3 cup shredded mozzarella or cheese of choice (I used a vegan cheese since I’m lactose intolerant)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil Non-Stick Spray
1 Tbsp Parsley

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
2. Cut the spaghetti squash in half (if you have trouble, slice a few thin slices and heat in the microwave for 5 minutes!)
3. Line baked sheet with aluminum foil and spray with spray.
4. Place the spaghetti squash face down and cook for 40-45 minutes, if you heated in the microwave, 45-60 minutes if you did not.
5. Reduce heat to 375F.
6. Let the spaghetti squash cool, then remove the seeds.
7. Scrape the squash into a bowl with a fork.
8. Add the garlic powder and parmesan.
9. Spray 12 muffin tins with the extra virgin olive oil and distribute the spaghetti squash evenly, pushing on the bottoms and side to make cups.
10. Bake for 15 minutes.
11. Add about 1 Tbsp tomato sauce and distribute the cheese evenly on top.
12. Bake for 10 minutes.
13. Sprinkle with parsley and serve!
