Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Use a small paring knife to puncture the spaghetti squash a few times all over. Place on a baking sheet and bake until tender, about 1 hour. Let cool until cool enough to handle, then use a large knife to slice the squash open lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds with a fork and discard. Continue to use the fork to pull the flesh from its peel. (Leave the oven on.)
- Wrap the squash in a clean dishtowel and squeeze out all the excess water. (There will be quite a bit of water in the squash. It is important to squeeze out as much as you can so that the crust will have a better texture.)
- Whisk the eggs together with the shredded mozzarella and garlic salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the spaghetti squash until well combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer the squash to the center of the baking sheet and spread into a 10-inch circle. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Spread the pizza sauce on the crust and top with the desired toppings. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, an additional 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Once zucchini or summer squash has been shredded (I recommend a food processor) lightly salt the squash and transfer it to a strainer. Let stand 15 to 30 minutes and press all remaining liquid out of squash.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine squash, flour, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, eggs, pepper and salt. Mix well.
- Spread the mixture into a greased and floured jelly roll pan. Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven.
- Remove the crust from the oven and change the oven's temperature to broil. Brush the top of the crust with oil, and then broil the crust for 3 to 5 minutes until the top is lightly browned.
- Allow the crust to cool slightly and slide spatula underneath all edges and under the middle. Place a large baking sheet over the top of the crust and gently flip the crust over so that the bottom of the crust is now facing upwards. Because it can be difficult to flip the crust smoothly, it may be necessary to cut the crust in half to facilitate the flipping of the crust. If you want to omit the flipping stage, that is okay, but the crust won't be as crunchy.
- Brush the top of the crust with oil and broil for another 3 to 5 minutes until the top is browned. Cover with toppings as desired.

Tips:
- Use young summer squash for the best flavor and texture. If you're using larger squash, be sure to peel and seed them before grating.
- Grate the squash using the large holes of a box grater. This will help to create a consistent texture for the pizza crust.
- Squeeze out as much excess moisture from the grated squash as possible. This will help to prevent the pizza crust from becoming soggy.
- Be sure to use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet for the best results. This will help to create a crispy pizza crust.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. Summer squash pizza crust is a great way to use up leftover vegetables, meats, and cheeses.
Conclusion:
Summer squash pizza crust is a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional pizza crust. It's easy to make and can be topped with a variety of ingredients. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a fun and creative way to use up summer squash, summer squash pizza crust is a great option.
