A low-carb crustless pizza bowl is a fantastic way to enjoy all the flavors of pizza without the carbs from dough. Essentially, it’s a baked dish with classic pizza toppings in a bowl or casserole form. Here’s a simple recipe:
Ingredients (for 1–2 servings)
- 1 cup cooked chicken, ground beef, or turkey (optional, for protein)
- ½ cup pizza sauce (sugar-free if possible)
- ½–1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup chopped vegetables: bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, spinach, or zucchini
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning or oregano
- Optional: pepperoni slices, olives, or cooked sausage
Instructions
- Preheat Oven
- 375°F (190°C).
- Assemble the Bowl
- In a small oven-safe bowl or ramekin, layer protein (if using), then vegetables.
- Pour pizza sauce over the top.
- Sprinkle with cheese and Italian seasoning.
- Bake
- Bake 15–20 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Optional: broil 1–2 minutes for a golden, slightly crispy top.
- Serve
- Let cool slightly, then eat straight from the bowl with a fork or spoon.
Tips
- Use low-moisture mozzarella to prevent a watery bowl.
- For extra flavor, add garlic powder, chili flakes, or fresh basil after baking.
- This recipe scales easily—just use larger bowls or a small casserole dish for multiple servings.
If you want, I can give a super indulgent low-carb pizza bowl version that tastes almost like a deep-dish pizza, with a gooey cheese base and all your favorite toppings—no crust, but 100% pizza satisfaction.
