Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the fresh spinach in a large skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of water. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Squeeze out excess moisture from the spinach using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. The spinach should be as dry as possible to avoid a soggy crust.
Transfer the spinach to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, almond flour, grated Parmesan, egg, salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands or a spatula, shape the dough into a thin, round crust about 10-12 inches in diameter.
Brush the surface of the crust with olive oil for added flavor and to promote a golden color while baking.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until it is firm and lightly golden around the edges.
Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Add your desired toppings and bake again for 5-7 minutes, or until the toppings are heated through and the cheese is melted, if using.
Slice and serve your spinach pizza crust creation warm, and enjoy!
