These easy spaghetti squash pizzas are a fantastic way to lighten up pizza night at your house.

Ingredients

2 medium spaghetti squash (about 4 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup pizza sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Pizza toppings, as desired

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°. Place the oven rack in the middle position. Line two 15x10x1-in. baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using a sharp knife, slice the ends off the spaghetti squash. Next, cut the squash into 1-1/2-in. slices. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds; discard or save for another use. Arrange squash slices on the prepared baking sheets. Drizzle with olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake 25-30 minutes or until the squash is tender. Remove the squash from the oven; let cool slightly. Use a fork to shred spaghetti squash into strands, taking care not to tear the outer skin. Spread the strands evenly within each ring.
Divide pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese and Parmesan among each squash ring; sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Top with desired toppings.
Bake an additional 5-6 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Turn the oven to broil; cook 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is lightly golden and bubbly. Remove immediately. Serve warm.
