When you’re in the mood for pizza, what’s your go-to? Maybe it’s homemade or a favorite local pizzeria? New York-style pizza is where my heart truly lies, and back in the day I had a pizzeria I’d hit up whenever a craving struck.

These days I like to keep carbs low when I can, even when eating pizza.

I tend to get a little creative when I need my fix like pizza kale and paleo flatbread pizza (made with my paleo flatbread as the base).

I make another kind of low-carb “pizza”:

  1. Sauté onion in a little olive oil with turkey pepperoni.
  2. Sprinkle on a handful of shredded mozzarella cheese cooked until melted.
  3. Top with a couple spoons of marinara and a little handful of chopped olives.
  4. Serve!

That is by far the easiest (and one of the most delicious) ways to cure a pizza craving. And it’s ready in less time than it would take to drive to your favorite local spot and pick up a slice.

But sometimes you want to eat pizza and also get in your veggie intake, right? Enter this Zucchini Pizza Casserole concoction!

I know to pizza purists this will in no way qualify as pizza. But it has a lot of the same flavors going on. And I’d much rather nourish my body with veggies than feel lethargic and bloated from eating a regular slice. It eventually comes to the point where you don’t even miss the carbs.

Zucchini Pizza Casserole Recipe

This is by far the easiest low carb zucchini pizza casserole type of recipe!

I don’t bother shredding the zucchini. I just slice it up, give it a quick saute, and toss it into a casserole dish.

Then top it with tomato sauce, cheese, and your pizza toppings of choice.

Give it a quick broil to melt the cheese, and dinner is served.

    […] We love incorporating zucchini into keto cooking and use it to make things like “macaroni” and cheese and keto pizza! […]
