Ingredients

Scale

Proteins & Meats

  • 1 lb ground Italian sausage
  • ¼ cup sliced pepperoni

Sauce & Cheese

  • 1 cup low-carb tomato sauce (no-sugar-added marinara)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Vegetables

  • ½ cup diced bell peppers
  • 1 cup chopped spinach
  • 2 cloves minced garlic

Seasonings & Oils

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning (blend of oregano, basil, etc.)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Your Base: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Cook the Sausage and Vegetables: Add the ground Italian sausage to the skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. Once browned, stir in the diced bell peppers and chopped spinach. Cook until veggies soften, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Assemble the Pizza Bowl: Spread a thin layer of low-carb tomato sauce in your baking dish or individual ramekins. Spoon the cooked sausage and vegetable mixture over the sauce, then layer the pepperoni slices on top.
  4. Add Cheese and Bake: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the assembled mixture. Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  5. Let It Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the bowls to cool for a few minutes. This settling time helps the flavors meld and the cheese to firm up, making it easier to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use high-quality Italian sausage for the best flavor and texture.
  • Balance veggies carefully to avoid watery results; cook until just tender.
  • Choose a low-carb tomato sauce with no added sugars.
  • Bake at the recommended temperature to ensure perfectly browned cheese without drying.
  • Allow resting time before serving for optimal texture and flavor melding.
