💡 Tips to Make It Your Own
✨ Love extra cheese? Add provolone or cheddar for even more flavor.
✨ Want more vegetables? Try spinach, olives, onions, or zucchini.
✨ Prefer a spicy kick? Add crushed red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeños.
✨ Keep it lower in carbs: Choose a pizza sauce with no added sugar and check the labels on your cheese and processed meats.
✨ Make it in the microwave: Assemble the ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in short intervals until the cheese is melted and the filling is thoroughly hot.
❤️ Is It Really Zero Carb?
Although this recipe skips the crust, it isn’t necessarily carb-free. Pizza sauce and some toppings contain carbohydrates, and the total depends on the brands and portions you use. The good news is that it can be a lower-carb alternative to traditional pizza.
Remember, even low-carb foods contain calories, so it’s best to enjoy a satisfying portion rather than assume you can eat unlimited amounts.
