Low-Carb Crustless Pizza Bowl
A satisfying, guilt-free pizza bowl made with cauliflower rice, gooey mozzarella, beef pepperoni, and bell peppers, perfect for quick low-carb dinners.
Ingredients
Base
- 1 cup cauliflower rice — fresh or thawed frozen
Sauce & Cheese
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce your favorite jarred sauce works fine
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese whole-milk for the best melt
Toppings & Aromatics
- 1/2 cup beef pepperoni slices regular or turkey
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, chopped any color for sweetness and crunch
- 1/4 cup onion, chopped yellow or sweet onion
Seasoning & Garnish
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional) brightens the whole bowl
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish (8x8 works great). If using frozen cauliflower rice, thaw and squeeze out excess water until it’s slightly damp, not soggy.
Mixing
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella (reserve a small handful if you want a bubbly top), beef pepperoni, chopped bell peppers, onion, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Stir until everything’s evenly coated.
Baking
- Spread the mixture into your greased baking dish, pressing lightly so it’s even. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the edges are golden and the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.
Cooling & Garnishing
- Remove from oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with torn fresh basil if desired.
Serving
- Serve warm with a big fork, and maybe a salad on the side.
