So it's green… And the green is spinach… Does this make you doubtful?

How can healthy spinach possibly turn into something that resembles a pizza crust, right?

It's magic! Seriously, once cooked, the spinach does not have much of a taste, and the cheese in the spinach crust gives it the flavor.

It resembles  a tortilla. It is pliable, thin, and stable like a tortilla, but not crispy and firm like a true pizza crust.

Ingredients

You will need the following ingredients to make this spinach pizza crust.

• raw spinach-Do not use frozen spinach.
• egg
• fresh grated parmesan- Do not use the powder parmesan. It will not work out.
• basil-I use dried basil, but you can use fresh.
• oregano- I use dried oregano, but you can use fresh.

Steps

Making spinach low carb pizza crust is easy with these simple steps:

1. Add all of the ingredients for the crust in a food processor.
2. Spread it out on parchment paper with a spatula. ( Parchment paper is a must! Or you will have a sticky mess.)
3.  Bake in oven at 425 for at least 15 minutes or until sides get a little brown.
4. Let cool. Load with your favorite pizza sauce. Then add your favorite toppings. This is when you can get creative and make all kinds of fun pizzas.
5. Bake in oven until toppings are cooked.
6. Once removed from oven, let it rest for 5 minutes. This is the tricky part because it looks so good. But if you let it rest, and then slice it, your pizza will be able to be picked up with your hand.  But if you can't wait, throw a slice on your plate and use a fork.

Tips

When you are spreading on the parchment paper, make sure there are no holes in your crust. The cheese and spinach need to cook together to firm into the crust. If there are small holes, it will not be able bind.

Resting is important. If you let it rest it will firm enough for you to pick it up by the slice.
