INGREDIENTS:

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1/4 cup bell peppers, diced
• 1/2 tsp of garlic powder
• Sliced mushrooms, 1/4 cup
• Pepper
• 1/2 tsp of oregano, dried
• Pepperoni, 6 slices

INGREDIENT DIRECTIONS:

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

• The use of mozzarella helps in melting smoothly and provides the pizza regular taste. You can use cheddar or provolone instead. They maintain low-carb diets and remain high in fat.

PEPPERONI AND MEAT OPTIONS:

• It is a low-carb(natural) dish; you can use turkey sausage, keto salami, or grilled chicken instead.

KETO PITA BREAD:

• We use low-carb pita, which is made with coconut flour or almond flour in place of wheat. It maintains a solid texture while decreasing carbs.  If keto pita is not available, use a cauliflower tortilla or thin chaffle foundation as an alternative.

PIZZA SAUCE(UNSWEETENED):

•  The sauces bought from stores mostly contain extra sugar. Create your own with olive oil, herbs, and tomato paste, or use the sauce, which has no extra sugars.

VEGETABLES:

• Mushrooms, olives, and bell peppers reduce carbs while increasing flavor and fiber. For balance, you can use cherry tomatoes, zucchini slices, or spinach.

INSTRUCTIONS:

6. Garnish the surface with mozzarella cheese equally.
7. Include all the topping items.

TIPS:

• You can use already-shredded cheese to prepare a quick prep meal, but fresh mozzarella works perfectly for melting.
