This easy low carb crustless pizza bowl is a quick, cheesy, and satisfying meal that tastes just like pizza without the carbs or hassle. Ready in about 10 minutes, it’s perfect for busy weeknights or a low carb lifestyle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce (no added sugar)
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (whole milk preferred)
  • 12 slices pepperoni (regular or turkey)
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Spoon the marinara sauce into the bottom of a microwave-safe bowl and spread evenly.
  2. Sprinkle about half of the shredded mozzarella over the sauce.
  3. Arrange 6 slices of pepperoni over the cheese layer.
  4. Add the remaining mozzarella on top, covering the pepperoni completely.
  5. Place the remaining 6 pepperoni slices on top of the cheese.
  6. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan, dried oregano, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes evenly over everything.
  7. Microwave on high for 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes, checking at the 1-minute mark, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Let the bowl sit for about 1 minute before eating to allow the cheese to set slightly.
  9. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired and serve straight from the bowl.

Notes

For a crispier top, broil for 30-60 seconds after microwaving. Use whole milk mozzarella for best melt. Do not use too much sauce to avoid soupiness. Let rest 1 minute before eating to prevent burns.
