It’s like a pumpkin spice latte but for dinner.
Ingredients
Crust
1 cup coconut flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp granulated garlic
1 cup full fat coconut milk
3 eggs
Toppings
1 delicata squash, de-seeded and cut into circles
1 apple, cored and cut into circles
1 onion, sliced
2-3 cups spinach
1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (don't like blue cheese? Replace it with goat cheese or any other cheese of your choosing!)
Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Wash your delicata squash and your apple. Slice the delicata squash into little circles. Once you have sliced it up, using your fingers remove the seeds from the inside of your circles.
Core your apple and slice it into thin circles, much like your delicata squash.
Toss your delicata squash and apples with a tbs or so of olive oil. Lay flat on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until they are cooked through. You should be able to penetrate the squash easily with a fork, and the apple should have softened a bit.
Once they are done, set them aside and start on your crust. Turn your oven temp down to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease with olive oil. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl add your dry ingredients for your crust. This is going to be your coconut flour, baking powder, salt and granulated garlic. Whisk together until well combined.
In a smaller mixing bowl, whisk together your eggs and your coconut milk until they are thoroughly combined.
Add your wet ingredients into your dry ingredients and whisk until everything is well combined and there are no longer lumps. It should be the consistency of a thick pancake batter. If it seems too thin, you can add coconut flour one tbs at a time until you reach the desired consistency. Be careful though, coconut flour is SUPER absorbent.
Pour your batter out onto your parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a baking spatula, spread your batter out evenly into a flatbread-like shape. Don't spread it too thin as it could make it crumbly.
Bake for 20 minutes. It is done when the batter is set and the top is a light golden-brown color.
While your crust bakes, you can caramelize your onions. Heat some olive oil up in a skillet over medium heat. Add in your sliced onions and allow them to caramelize and become a rich brown color. Stir frequently. This will take several minutes. Once your onions caramelize, add in your spinach and cook it down until it wilts. Set aside.
Remove your finished crust from the oven and layer it will your ingredients starting with your caramelized onion and spinach mixture. Layer your blue cheese on top of this and then top with your apples and delicata squash. Bake at 375 for 5-7 minutes. Your blue cheese will get melty and your squash will start to sweat.
Remove from oven, slice and serve! Enjoy!
