Cauliflower Pizza Bowl
- Simple preparation and few minutes in the oven means cauliflower pizza bowls are ready just in time, plus they have that authentic pizzeria flavor!
- Easy, economical, and a real crowd-pleaser, pizza bowls are also a great way to use up leftover meat and veggies (no one has to know)!

What’s In a Pizza Bowl?
VEGETABLES: Cauliflower is a popular superfood and easily replaces carb-heavy ingredients like beans and grains when it’s riced. Peppers, mushrooms, and olives are standard pizza toppers, but as long as it’s low-carb, it can be added to a pizza bowl. Why not add some other veggies like chopped spinach, sliced brussels sprouts, diced zucchini, or some jalapenos?
MEATS Precooked sausage is a real time-saver for pizza bowls and makes them filling and hearty. Pepperoni can be added in whole slices or cut in half.
SAUCE Check labels and use a low carb, low sugar pizza sauce, and add Italian seasoning or fresh herbs like basil and oregano for added flavor.
CHEESE Cheese is a low-carb lover’s favorite food! It’s so versatile, full of healthy fats, and tastes delicious in anything! Mozzarella and parmesan are the traditional pizza cheeses, but experiment with whatever cheese is on hand. Bleu cheese and feta? Why not?
How To Make A Pizza Bowl
Pizza bowls come together in just 3 simple steps:
- Cook garlic, green pepper, and mushrooms. Add cauliflower rice and seasonings.
- Divide the mixture into oven-safe bowls and layer sauce, meats, olives, and cheeses.
- Bake until cheese is golden and bubbly.
Recipe Tips
- Pizza bowl parties are made easy by prepping everything in advance! Cook the sausage, slice the pepperoni, and dice the veggies, then place everything in separate containers so everyone can create their own supreme pizza! Even cauliflower rice can be cooked from frozen.
- Before baking, place filled bowls on a baking sheet instead of taking each bowl in and out separately from the oven. It saves energy and may prevent getting a burn!
Leftovers?
Keep leftovers in covered containers in the freezer for up to 1 month. Thaw and reheat on the stovetop.
