Frighteningly Healthy Pizzas

Healthy pizza making with a 'terrifying' twist

You only need to look at the countless pumpkins stocking the shelves of supermarkets to recognise that Hallowe'en is just around the corner. In this season frequently dominated with sugary sweets, we thought we would provide some savoury respite. We’ve teamed up with the original 1 calorie cooking spray, Frylight, to create some frighteningly good pizzas – perfect for entertaining the kids this half term!  

Cutting down on calories, carbs and sugar

By making your pizza with a Lo-Dough base, you can significantly reduce your calories and the amount of refined carbs and sugar you are eating - as each base is sugar-free and contains just 39 calories & 2g of carbs. You can find out more about Lo-dough here.

    Step 5: Toppings! 

    For the spiders, we halved black olives and cut the remaining into small slices for the legs. We made the bigger spiders out of red and yellow peppers, cut into rounds with courgette legs.
