Created by [Isadora](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/authentic-mexican-cuisine) at the food blog She Likes Food, the homemade BBQ Spaghetti Squash Pizza is a yummy and autumnally appropriate recipe that is far from traditional. Instead of your classic marinara red sauce and mozzarella cheese, this pie features a [barbecue sauce base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-bbq-sauce) with smoked gouda instead. With the addition of winter squash, this fall entree is one you'll want to enjoy all season long. You can use Isadora's own [gluten-free pizza dough recipe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diavola-pizza), use your own favorite or even go with a store-bought variety. You will also need some thinly sliced red onions and fresh cilantro leaves for topping. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Gluten-free Recipes:** Opportunity for developing innovative and delicious gluten-free recipes to cater to the dietary restrictions of consumers. - **Alternative Pizza Toppings:** Potential to experiment with non-traditional pizza toppings, such as barbecue sauce and smoked gouda, to create unique flavor profiles. - **Seasonal Cuisine:** Opportunity to capitalize on the popularity of seasonal dishes and incorporate seasonal ingredients to create enticing menus. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food Blogging:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to capture the growing demand for unique and innovative recipes through food blogging and online platforms. - **Gluten-free Food Products:** Chance to develop and market gluten-free food products, including pizza dough and sauces, to meet the needs of gluten-intolerant consumers. - **Restaurant and Catering:** Potential to introduce unconventional pizza flavors and seasonal ingredients to attract customers and differentiate from traditional pizzerias. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Seasonal Pumpkin Pesto Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourde-vibes-only-pizza.md) - [Savoy Pumpkin Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smashing-pumpkin.md) - [Smokey BBQ Pizza Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smokin-hot-honey-bbq.md) - [Vegetarian Squash Lasagnas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butternut-squash-italian-lasagna.md) - [Seasonal Burger-inspired Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesy-backyardburger-pizza.md) - [Sugar-Free BBQ Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-honey-bbq-sauce.md) - [Spicy Stone Fruit Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kickin-bbq-peach-pizza.md) - [Grillable Pulled Pork Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mama-cozzi.md) - [Gluten-Free White Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gluten-free-white-pizza.md)
