Why trust us?

Fall is here, and that means sinking into warming colors and comforting tastes. And those cool temperatures are inseparably associated with – what else? – pumpkin. This recipe for a protein tarte flambee (an Alsatian specialty also sometimes called flammkuchen) with slices of squash will fill you up in a healthy way. The super simple crust mix has 74% less carbs than conventional, and it’s very low-calorie to boot. When the whole pie has less than 500 kcal, who can say no?

Ingredients

1 Person

100 ml

warm water
60 g

red kuri or butternut squash
60 g

pear, not peeled
0.5

red onion
50 g

cream cheese

Preparation

1

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2

Mix the Protein Pizza mix with water and stir/knead until a smooth dough is formed. Set aside to rest.

Meanwhile, slice the squash open and remove the seeds and strings with a spoon. Finely slice the squash, pear, and onion into slices as thin as possible.

5

Move the crust to a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Prebake for 15 minutes.
