Pritikin Pizza Spider | Healthy Halloween Treats
What a great dinner for the kiddos before they take off for treat-or-treating!
- We use individual whole-wheat pizza crusts that our guests at the Pritikin Longevity Center have been raving about for years. They’re available in our Pritikin Online Store.
- For the sauce, use our homemade recipe for Fresh Pritikin Marinara Sauce, or buy bottled varieties of no-salt-added marinara sauce. Good brand choices include: Hunt’s, Muir Glen Organic, Enrico’s, L.E. Roselli, Walnut Acres, and many store brands.
- Simply top each pizza dough with your marinara sauce, then make a spider web using fat-free Monterey Jack cheese.
- In a 450-degree F. oven, bake your pizzas till the crusts are crunchy, about 8 minutes.
