Roasted Garlic & Spinach Parmesan Pizza
This Roasted Garlic and Spinach Pizza starts with a delicious white parmesan sauce and is topped with garlic spinach and slivers of roasted garlic taking your pizza night to perfection!
I think pizza is my “kryptonite” regardless of the type of diet I am on! So finding a creative take on one of my favorites (and that would be pizza) allows me to indulge with only half of the guilt. 🙂
And that takes me to my Roasted Garlic and Spinach Parmesan Pizza. Fresh spinach is pretty awesome when you combine it with garlic and Parmesan and the added health benefits are just a bonus. Plus, roasting your own garlic will not only fill your home with an aroma of an Italian restaurant, but it delivers with a buttery, rich, slightly sweet and creamy texture.
Trading out a traditional red pizza sauce for a white sauce is also a prize. The white cream sauce combined with mozzarella on top of the wheat pizza dough makes you want to kiss the cook. This simple recipe, that is finished off with slivers of roasted garlic, has immediately made this a family favorite in my home.
When making Roasted Garlic & Spinach Parmesan Pizza:
When you are ready to dive into this recipe begin by removing only the outer layer of the garlic bulb and cut the top to expose the crowns of the garlic cloves; all while keeping them intact.
Be sure to not overcook your fresh spinach so it doesn’t become over wilted. It will finish cooking in the oven so it will come out perfect.
When you want to keep your pizza night tasty with a dash of “healthy” give this Roasted Garlic and Spinach Parmesan Pizza a spot and I promise you won’t regret it!
