Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce (sugar-free)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled sausage
Optional Toppings
- 1/4 cup pepperoni slices
- 1/4 cup black olives, sliced
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
Seasonings
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley or basil, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare an oven-friendly dish or bowl by lightly coating it with oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Base Layer: Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the bottom of the dish forming a cheesy base layer, which will provide the foundation and help bind the toppings.
- Add Sauce and Toppings: Drizzle the sugar-free marinara sauce evenly over the cheese base. Then, layer the cooked and crumbled sausage on top. If using, add pepperoni slices, sliced black olives, and diced bell peppers to add flavor and variety.
- Season: Sprinkle the oregano, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper over the layered ingredients. Gently toss or stir slightly to blend the seasonings and toppings evenly.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes. Cook until the cheese is thoroughly melted, bubbly, and the toppings are warmed through.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the pizza bowl from the oven and let it rest for a minute. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil if desired, then serve warm for the best flavor experience.

- Make sure to use sugar-free marinara sauce to keep this recipe truly low carb.
- Feel free to customize the toppings with any low-carb vegetables or your favorite meats.
- Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your oven; watch for bubbly cheese as an indicator of doneness.
