INGREDIENT NOTES:
KETO MARINARA SAUCE:
- Keto marinara maintains a low carbohydrate content while maintaining the traditional pizza flavor. It’s better to choose one without added sugars to keep a dish keto. We also use homemade sauce to ensure that it is completely keto.
MOZZARELLA AND CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- Mozzarella cheese melts into a stretched, gooey layer every pizza needs. A small amount of cheddar enhances the dish’s flavor and gives it depth. A combination of these two cheeses will balance the creaminess and provide a touch of bite.
PEPPERONI:
- Pepperoni is a traditional garnish, and it bakes well. It contributes a strong taste and a hint of smoke. Choose uncured or nitrate-free for a cleaner version.
ITALIAN SAUSAGE:
- The bowl is heartier and more filling with Italian sausage. Pre-cooked sausage enhances the flavor, and it also renders its fat. We crumble the sausage so it blends well with the other toppings.
BELL PEPPER:
- Bell peppers add a little sweetness and crunch. They fix the indulgent taste of meat & cheese. This is a good place for red, green, or yellow.
MUSHROOMS:
- Mushrooms contribute an earthy flavor, and they also absorb the sauce and seasonings. They cook well and don’t release too much water when cut into thin pieces. They provide depth without adding more carbohydrates.
OLIVES:
- The salty, briny kick from the olives counterbalances the cheese’s creaminess. They also give the dish a Mediterranean flair. Make thin slices to ensure even distribution.
OLIVE OIL:
- Olive oil includes indulgence and it also prevents the pizza from sticking. Additionally, a little drizzle improves the roasting of veggies. It adds taste without taking away from the toppings.
