• 1 cup Baby spinach
• 10 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 cup Low-fat mozzarella cheese
• 1 handful Basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Peel the russet potatoes and shred them using a box grater or a food processor.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, and oregano. Mix well.

Spread the potato mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in a circular or rectangular shape about 1/4 inch thick to form the crust.

Once the crust is ready, remove it from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over the surface.

Step 8

Layer on the baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, and red bell pepper slices.

Step 9

Sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly across the top.

Step 10

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of black pepper before slicing and serving.
