Description

Low Carb Pizza Bowls are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional pizza, offering all the classic flavors without the extra carbs from the crust. This customizable recipe allows you to enjoy your favorite toppings in a cheesy, saucy bowl that’s perfect for those following keto or low-carb diets.


Ingredients

  • Pizza Sauce: 1-2 tablespoons per bowl. Opt for a low-sugar or sugar-free variety to keep the carb count low.
  • Mozzarella Cheese: Approximately 1 cup per bowl, but feel free to adjust based on your preference.
  • Toppings: Choose from a variety of options, such as:
    • Pepperoni (turkey pepperoni for a lighter option)
    • Cooked hamburger (lean beef)
    • Cooked Italian sausage (turkey or chicken sausage as alternatives)
    • Onions
    • Bell peppers
    • Black olives
    • Banana peppers
    • Spinach
    • Ham (chicken ham)
    • Pineapple (optional; note it adds natural sugars)

Instructions

  2. Prepare the Bowl:ย In an oven-safe bowl or dish, spread 1-2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly across the bottom.
  3. Add Toppings:ย Layer your chosen toppings over the sauce. You can mix them together or arrange them in layers, starting with cooked meats followed by vegetables.
  4. Top with Cheese:ย Generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the toppings, ensuring full coverage.
  5. Bake:ย Place the bowl in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
  6. Serve:ย Carefully remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before enjoying.

Notes

  • Customization:ย Feel free to adjust the toppings to suit your taste preferences.
