Low Carb Sheet Pan Pizza Recipe
This Low Carb Sheet Pan Pizza is a healthy and delicious option for anyone looking to enjoy pizza without the carbs! It’s made with cauliflower rice for the crust, which keeps it light and keto-friendly while still packing in all the great flavors of a classic pizza.
Ingredients:
- 1 (10-ounce) package cauliflower rice (thawed)
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce (preferably low-sugar)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup pepperoni slices (or your favorite pizza topping)
- 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Cauliflower Rice Crust:
- Spread the thawed cauliflower rice evenly over the prepared baking sheet. Press it down gently to form a crust-like layer. You can shape it into a rectangular or circular shape depending on your preference.
- Add the Toppings:
- Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the cauliflower rice, leaving a small border around the edges for a crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese on top.
- Add the pepperoni slices, followed by the chopped green bell pepper and chopped red onion.
- Bake the Pizza:
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
- Cool and Slice:
- Once done, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Slice and serve immediately for a delicious, low-carb pizza experience.
Tips:
- Crust Variation: If you prefer a crispier crust, you can cook the cauliflower rice layer by itself for 10-12 minutes before adding the toppings.
- Toppings: Customize the toppings to your liking! You can add mushrooms, olives, spinach, or any other favorite pizza toppings.
- Cheese: If you’re dairy-free, try substituting the mozzarella and Parmesan with a plant-based cheese alternative.
