Ingredients

• Pumpkin puree - 240 grams
• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh spinach - 50 grams
• Cherry tomatoes - 100 grams, halved
• Red onion - 50 grams, thinly sliced
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, almond flour, egg, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Spread the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping it into a round pizza crust about 1 cm thick.
4. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until slightly firm and golden.
5. While the crust is baking, prepare the toppings by washing the spinach, halving the cherry tomatoes, and slicing the red onion.
6. Remove the crust from the oven and evenly distribute the spinach, cherry tomatoes, and red onion over the top.
7. Sprinkle dried oregano over the toppings for added flavor.
8. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
9. Once baked, remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
