Looking for a Healthy Pizza Option

Paleo Pizza
Ingredients:
2 eggs
2 cups almond meal (pulse almonds in food processor or buy at the health food store)
2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp Italian seasoning (use ready made or add- garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil, etc...)
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup tomato sauce (no sugar added)
Favorite pizza toppings (leftover chicken and veggies are a great option)
Parchment paper (this keeps your pizza from sticking to the pan)

Method:
Preheat oven to 365 degrees. Beat eggs, add almond meal, olive oil, seasonings, and sea salt. Mix together and form a ball, spread on a baking pan covered in parchment paper. (Tip: if dough is sticky, put another piece of parchment paper on top or use a small amount of olive oil on your hands). Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until dough starts to brown around the edges.

Take dough out of oven and spread tomato sauce evenly. Sprinkle with italian seasonings if desired. Add toppings of your choice. Return pizza to oven and bake for another 20 minutes.
