Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar-free marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup cooked Italian sausage or pepperoni slices (or preferred protein)
  • ¼ cup sliced mushrooms
  • ¼ cup diced bell peppers
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If using a broiler instead, prepare it for quickly melting the top layer later.
  2. Layer the ingredients: In an oven-safe bowl or ramekin, start by spreading a thin layer of marinara sauce. Then add a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by your choice of cooked protein and vegetables. Repeat the layers until the bowl is nearly full, finishing with a generous layer of cheese on top.
  3. Season and bake: Sprinkle Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top. Bake the bowl for 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. For a slightly crisped, golden topping, place the bowl under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes at the end of baking.
  4. Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor. Serve immediately while hot straight from the bowl.

Notes

  • Use sugar-free marinara to keep carbs minimal.
  • Customize with your favorite pizza toppings such as spinach, olives, or bacon.
  • For extra crispiness, finish under the broiler briefly.
  • Prepare ingredients in advance for quick assembly and cooking.
  • The recipe serves 2 hearty bowls, perfect for individual servings.
