Ingredients
Pizza Base and Sauce
- 1 spray Cooking spray
- 1 frozen thin pizza crust (dairy and/or gluten free, if necessary)
- 2 ½ tsp olive oil, divided
- 2 ½ Tbsp jarred crushed garlic
Toppings
- 10 oz frozen whole leaf spinach, thawed and drained
- 3 oz feta cheese (dairy free if necessary)
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tsp 100% Pure Raw & Unfiltered Honey
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 425° Fahrenheit. Lightly coat a non-stick pizza pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking, and then place the frozen pizza crust on the pan.
- Prepare the Crust: Drizzle 1 ½ teaspoons of olive oil over the pizza crust. Using a spoon, evenly spread the jarred crushed garlic onto the crust to infuse it with a robust garlic flavor.
- Add Spinach and Toppings: Use paper towels to thoroughly pat the thawed spinach dry, removing excess moisture. Spread the spinach over the pizza crust. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top, followed by a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for some heat. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the toppings to enhance flavor and help the toppings bake nicely.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the cheese begins to brown and the crust is crispy.
- Finish with Honey and Serve: After baking, remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle 2 teaspoons of raw honey over the top. Slice and serve immediately for a sweet and savory delight.
Notes
- Ensure the spinach is well drained to avoid a soggy pizza crust.
- If dairy or gluten is a concern, opt for dairy-free feta and gluten-free pizza crusts.
- Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to control pizza spiciness.
- Raw honey adds a unique flavor contrast; substitute with agave or maple syrup for a vegan option.
- Using a non-stick pizza pan helps in achieving a crispy bottom crust.
