Equipment
- Skillet
- Small Casserole Dish or 8-ounce Ramekins
Ingredients
Casserole Base
- 1 cup shredded zucchini packed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 pound bulk Italian sausage hot or mild
Toppings
- 1/4 cup low-carb marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese about 2 ounces
- 1/2 ounce sliced pepperoni
- 1/8 medium green pepper thinly sliced
- 2 small mushrooms thinly sliced
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare your zucchini for a healthy base! Sprinkle the shredded zucchini with salt and let it sit for 30 minutes to draw out excess water. Then, gently squeeze it dry and put it in a medium bowl.
- Step 2: Brown the sausage. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage for about 8 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks. Once browned, use a slotted spoon to transfer it to the bowl with the zucchini, leaving any extra grease behind.
- Step 3: Create the flavorful base. Mix the cooked sausage and drained zucchini together, then press this mixture evenly into a small casserole dish or two individual 8-ounce ramekins.
- Step 4: Top it like a pizza! Spoon your low-carb marinara sauce evenly over the sausage and zucchini base. Then, layer with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, green peppers, and mushrooms. Save a tiny bit of cheese to sprinkle on top to help the toppings stay put.
- Step 5: Cook until bubbly and golden. You can either air fry it at 350°F for 8-12 minutes or bake it in a preheated 375°F oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned. Enjoy your healthy pizza casserole!
