Low Carb Pizza Bowls: A Delicious Healthy Twist!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground Italian sausage
- 1 cup marinara sauce (sugar-free)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives
- 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground Italian sausage until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the marinara sauce to the skillet with the sausage and stir to combine. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Divide the sausage and sauce mixture evenly among four oven-safe bowls or ramekins.
- Top each bowl with equal portions of mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, black olives, and diced green bell pepper.
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes over each bowl.
- Place the bowls on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the bowls before baking.
- Swap out the Italian sausage for ground beef or turkey for a different flavor profile.
- Serve with keto-friendly sides like pork rinds, celery sticks, or cucumber slices for added crunch.
