When I started this weight loss journey, I thought I’d have to say goodbye to pizza forever. Fortunately, I was wrong! This low-carb pizza is not only quick and easy to make, but it’s also incredibly delicious and satisfying.
If you’re looking for a healthy pizza alternative that still delivers on taste, this recipe is for you!
Ingredients You’ll Need
You only need these simple ingredients for this Low-Carb Pizza:
- 1 Toufayan Keto Pita loaf (or your favorite low-carb pita)
- 1 tbsp low fat vegetable oil spread (like Country Crock light)
- 2 tbsp Prego No Sugar Added Pasta Sauce
- 1/4 cup shredded low moisture part skim mozzerella cheese
- 10 slices turkey pepperoni
- 2 tsp grated parmesan cheese
How to Make this Low-Carb Pizza
This recipe comes together in minutes, making it perfect for a quick meal.
Prep
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Assemble the Pizza
- Place the low-carb pita on a baking sheet. Spread the butter evenly across the pita, making sure to go all the way to the edges.
- Spread the pasta sauce evenly over the top, leaving a small rim uncovered for a classic crust look.
- Sprinkle about 2/3 of the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, saving the rest for later.
- Arrange the turkey pepperoni slices on top of the cheese.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the pepperoni.
- Finish with a light dusting of the 2 tsp Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Bake the Pizza
Bake at 400°F for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and golden brown.
Pro Tip: If you want restaurant-quality pizza at home, try using a pizza maker instead of the oven! I personally love the Betty Crocker Pizza Maker. It makes the crust perfectly crispy and melts the cheese just like a pizza shop.
Enjoy
Let your low-carb pizza cool for a couple of minutes before digging in. You can enjoy it whole or slice it into halves or quarters, whatever you prefer!
