15-Minute Low Carb Zucchini Pizza Casserole for One

July 15, 2020 by Faith 4 Comments

This 15-Minute Low Carb Zucchini Pizza Casserole is a delicious and healthy way to satisfy a pizza craving! It’s easier to make than most pizza casserole recipes, and you can easily adjust it up to feed however many people you want.

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! […]

I finally got to cross off a huge item on my to-do I finally got to cross off a huge item on my to-do list! Do you remember my other blog Healthy Sweet Eats? Until today, the last time I posted there was February 2020! I even had content ready, recipes developed and photographed, and I have absolutely no excuse for myself lol. 😱🙈😅

More than just wanting to get back into posting regularly there, I wanted to give that space a fresh new look! I'm pretty thrilled that today it's done (with just a couple very minor decorative tweaks I still want to make). 💗

Not only does Healthy Sweet Eats have a fresh new face, but today I shared my recipe for #sugarfree Berry Sorbet 🍓🫐🍒, which uses frozen berries and comes together in just 5 minutes for the most delicious dose of antioxidants I've ever had.

Take a peek at the redesign and let me know what you think! 😘 Find this recipe on my other blog Healthy Sweet Eats (the direct link is in my link tree in my profile) --> https://www.healthysweeteats.com/sugar-free-berry-sorbet-recipe/

This year I made a new charoset recipe for tonight This year I made a new charoset recipe for tonight’s #seder! In addition to apple, nuts, and cinnamon, it’s heavy on the apricot and I think it’s my favorite version yet. 🥰 And by that I mean it’s good enough to enjoy year-round and not just save for #passover. I will definitely be sharing the recipe on my blog soon. 😘 #chagsemeach #pesach #pesach2021 #dayenu #foodstyling #foodphotography
This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it' This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it's nourishing and uncomplicated, mostly cabbage and ground beef and a few other veggies along with a couple spices. It's #paleo and easy to make #lowcarb and #ketofriendly. And it doesn't need a lot of time; just 10 minutes of prep time and 20 minutes to cook. The best part is, it's so much more delicious than you might think! What it lacks in looks, it definitely makes up for in other ways. 🥰 Find my Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls recipe on @anediblemosaic --> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/unstuffed-cabbage-rolls-recipe/

These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as y These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as you can see they look nothing like they're supposed to! 🙈😁 I'd call the recipe a flop in that sense, except for 2 things: 1) they still taste great (swipe through to the last photo showing their pillow-y interior), and 2) I made them on a Zoom call together with my dear friend Evelyene (@cultureatz). Eve and I virtually met around the time we both started blogging (she lives in Montreal), which was over a decade ago (it's crazy to think how fast time flies!).

When we first met in real life last year before the pandemic hit, it was an instant connection. It was lots of laughs, local exploration, good food, great conversation, and she even brought me bagels from her hometown! She's a kindred soul. 🥰❤️ Since then we've stayed connected and have spent a few afternoons cooking together. We've made Russian dumplings called Pelmeni and we had a holiday cake-off where I made a Gingerbread Roll Cake and Eve made a Pumpkin Roll Cake.

She and I used the same recipe for French Crullers and it didn't work as expected for either of us (just wait until you see how Evelyne's turned out, they're completely different from mine!), but still I'd call it a success.

I think this delicious disaster deserves to be commemorated, so I wanted to style and photograph them. Even though the prop styling is minimal, it's an eclectic grouping:

1) Background: Scrap marble at a floor tile store in Jacksonville, Florida. The lady was awesome, she told me to look around and take any scrap tile I could use.
2) Cake stand (swipe through to see it better): I got this at my favorite ceramics store in Paris, France called @astierdevillatte in May 2015.
3) Espresso cups: Seller @madhouseceramics on @etsy.
4) Small spoons: Seller Ann Cutting from ceramicpix on @etsy.
5) Espresso: My favorite espresso @lavazzausa.

If you're craving soup before the weather starts w If you're craving soup before the weather starts warming up where you live, this Butternut Squash Soup is perfect. 💙🧡 It's rich and creamy with warm spices and a touch of brown sugar to bring out the butternut's natural sweetness. And the best part is that it's made in the Instant Pot and only requires 15 minutes of hands-on prep time!
