Who doesn’t love a good pizza? These Keto Mini Pizza Bowls are perfect for when you’re craving pizza but want to keep things low-carb. They’re customizable, fun to make, and packed with all the cheesy, saucy goodness you’d expect—without the crust!

Equipment You’ll Need

• Small oven-safe bowls or ramekins
• Spoon for layering
• Baking sheet (optional, for easier handling)

Ingredients

• 1 cup marinara sauce (sugar-free)
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup cooked ground beef or Italian sausage (optional)
• 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
• 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
• 1/4 cup sliced black olives
• 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Procedure

1. Preheat the Oven
   Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease your ramekins or small oven-safe bowls.
2. Layer the Sauce and Cheese
   Start by spooning about 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce into each bowl. Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella and a small amount of parmesan on top of the sauce.
3. Add Meat and Veggies
   If using ground beef or sausage, add a spoonful to each bowl, followed by a layer of pepperoni slices. Add bell peppers, olives, and mushrooms for a veggie-loaded version.
4. Season and Layer Again
   Sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper over each layer. Repeat the layering with another spoonful of sauce, a mix of mozzarella, and toppings until the bowls are almost full.
5. Finish with Cheese
   Top off each bowl with a final generous layer of mozzarella and a sprinkle of parmesan for that golden, bubbly crust.
6. Bake the Pizza Bowls
   Place the ramekins on a baking sheet for stability, and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and golden on top.
7. Serve and Enjoy
   Let the pizza bowls cool for a couple of minutes before serving. They’ll be hot, cheesy, and perfect for a cozy, low-carb pizza experience!
