With the recent diagnosis of Diabetes I have been trying to stay away from carbs, but I have been really craving pizza. This recipe curbed that craving. Depending on what toppings you decide on it can taste more like a pizza or you can keep it light and then it’s kind of like a veggie parmesan. This can be a really good way to fight a craving without breaking the calorie bank.
The recipe is for 4 people, but you can totally make this easily for one or two by altering the amount of ingredients.
