Tips
Use a fork to scrape the cooked squash into spaghetti-like strands for the best texture and even distribution across the pizza bites.
Pre-cook any fresh spinach briefly to remove excess moisture and prevent soggy pizza bottoms during baking.
Make the circles uniform in size using a 3-inch cookie cutter so all bites cook evenly and look professional when served.

FAQ
Can I use fresh bacon instead of crumbles?
Yes, cook and crumble 4-5 strips of bacon, then drain on paper towels before using as topping.
What if I don't have a circle cookie cutter?
Use a glass or round measuring cup to cut circles, or cut into squares with a knife for easier prep.
How long will these keep in the refrigerator?
Store covered for up to 3 days, though the crust will soften. Reheat in oven at 350°F for best results.
