Low Carb Roasted Vegetable ‘Pizza’
A delicious alternative and healthier option for pizza lovers everywhere.
I really can’t say enough about this dish. It will satiate any pizza cravings you have and fill you up too! We gobbled this up so fast. Extremely comparable to the real thing.

Another bonus to this dish, is that you can use any vegetables hanging out in your fridge, like eggplant, cauliflower, etc. You can also make this dish vegan by using vegan shredded cheeses. You can also make it gluten free and keto by subbing in almond flour for the bread crumbs.

Low Carb Roasted Veggie ‘Pizza’
Ingredients
- 2 zucchini, sliced into half moons
- 16 oz mushrooms, slice into large chunks
- 2 bell peppers, sliced into strips, halved
- 3 small crowns broccoli, sliced into large florets
- olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Parmesan Mixture:
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or almond flour)
- 3 large cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp Italian blend seasonings
- salt and pepper to taste
Assembly:
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 10 cherry tomatoes
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- olive oil
- Garnish: fresh basil + chili pepper flakes
Instructions
Base:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Spray your large rimmed baking sheet with olive oil. Add your veggies to the sheet – it doesn't matter if they are overlapping. Drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bake for 20 minutes.
Parmesan Mixture:
- Whisk together all of the ingredients in a medium bowl.
Assembly:
- After the veggies have roasted for 20 minutes, remove from oven and toss them to mix them up. IF there is a lot of liquid in the pan, use some paper towels to absorb most of it. Push the veggies together to form an even single layer rectangle.
- Drizzle the veggies with the marinara first, then sprinkle with the parmesan mixture all over (this helps absorb the liquids too). Next toss on the mini tomatoes, onions, mozzarella. Drizzle with some olive oil and pop back into the oven for 18-20 more minutes.
- Top with optional garnish of chopped basil and chili flakes.
Notes
Leftover slices heat up amazing in a pan or in a toaster oven.

I want to try this! Can I also use cauliflower?
Hi Vivien, definitely you can use most any chunky style cut veggie!
I just tried this recipe and it is fantastic! My husband loved it and I have already forwarded the recipe to my sister. I think we will be making it a regular in our household!
HI Shanna, Thanks so much for sharing with your sister! Glad you and the hubby enjoyed!!
Is the nutritional information for one serving? And how many servings is this please?
There are 8 servings in this recipe.
Fabulous! My family has a new favorite!
Hi Krista! Thats fantastic! Thanks for the review!!
This is my new favorite pizza and if you have any left it’s even better the next day! I think the next time I make it I’m going to add shredded chicken to it. Yum yum!!
Can I add spinach to the roasted vegetable pizza
Hi Valorie! Yes you can add spinach on top!
So much flavor! My new pizza.
Hi Cindy! My new pizza too! Glad you enjoyed and thank you for trying the recipe!
Are the 15g carbs for the whole pizza?
Hi Katie, 15 grams per serving
Just made this and wow! So yummy! Added black olives and ground Italian turkey for more protein. Seriously was like eating pizza. I am hosting a friend’s lunch soon and plan to make this dish.
Hi Doris, I absolutely am drooling over your add ons.. and i will be trying these myself thank you!!
I hesitantly made this today but was pleasantly surprised. It definitely has a pizza vibe with the sauce, breadcrumbs, and cheese, and the veggies taste great. The only thing I would do differently in the future is to add more sauce. It’s a personal preference. I like my pizza super saucy.
I just made this recipe and I definitely added more sauce than what was written. I also didn’t put in as much cheese as was written. Finding the balance! Let’s hope it taste as good as it looks.
This was so good it’s going in my permanent rotation- thanks for sharing
Hi Teresa, thanks for trying the recipe and taking the time to comment and rate it!
Wow! Just wow!
I substituted squash for the mushrooms and added some Italian sausage and it was fantastic. I may never eat pizza any other way. Thank you!
Hi Charissa, I HAVE to try it with sausage at some point! Thank you for trying the recipe!!
Really enjoyed this tonight, my hubby too. Except that he said I would have been better not mentioning ‘pizza’!!
Hi Angela, I’m glad you both enjoyed the crustless pizza?? maybe that’s a better name lol
Made this today and it was such a hit!! Didn’t add the parmesan mixture to save some calories and still tasted AMAZING. Throwing this into my weekly rotations 🙂
HI Roma, I love that you love this! I feel the same way about it.. It just works! Thanks for the rating!
Made this tonight. It was amazing. Added some asparagus that we had in the fridge. So good!
Hi Cheryl, Love it! That’s the beauty of this dish, totally versatile and always delicious!
How many servings pls so I know the carbs per slice. Thank you!
8 servings here!
Is the nutritional info shown for the breadcrumb version? If so, what is the nutritional value if you substitute almond flour?
Hi! This looks so delicious! Do you happen to know what the carb count would be if you use the almond flour instead of the bread crumbs?
Great !!!
Hi MArta, Thanks for the feedback!
Soooooo good!!! Thank you so much for this recipe. It really satisfied my veggie pizza cravings. It is definitely my new favorite.
Hi Deb, I’m right there with you on this .. it does the same for me!
Stella, such an amazing pizza recipe ! I’ve tried a few low card pizzas that taste terrible! Yours is just amazing, gonna try with different toppings next time! Thanks!!!
So good!
Thanks for trying it!
Made this tonight. Was very tasty. Will be making it again. Shared recipe with friends.
Hi Renee, That’s fantastic! Thank you for trying the pizza out and for sharing with your friends too!
OMG was this delicious! Thanks for all of your wonderful recipes!
Hi Gwenn, Thanks for your wonderful message!
Darla July 18, 2022
This dish is Delicious!!! I added yellow squash, black olives, Jalapeno peppers & spinach on top with the colorful tomatoes. My grandchildren loved it!
HI Darla! Especially glad the grandkids approved! Thank you for the kind message!
Someone has already asked this but there was no reply. Is the nutritional value per serve and how many serves. 😊
Hi Sue, all of my recipes have serving amounts at the very top of the recipe box. I hope this helps and I hope you try the dish out – its so good!!!
Wonderful crustless pizza!
Hi Lois, I agree with you – it a favorite of mine!!
My favourite !!. I prepare it all weekends.
Thank you
Tegards from
ARGENTINA 🇦🇷❤️
Regards, I mean
I tried this recipe tonight and it was a big hit. Thank you for sharing! I have to laugh because it was so good there is no way I only ate an eighth serving!
Hi Patsy, Its my pleasure and I thank you for trying the recipe out! I felt the same way when I ate my portion too lol
5 stars! Delicious!
Hi Lorna! Thanks for the great review and I’m glad you enjoyed it!!
Hmmm…wondering if this would work as a side dish to take to a cookout?
Hi Christy, If pizza would work at your event then this would. Its a personal preference.
This is absolutely fabulous! 🍅🥒🫑🥦
Hi Lisa, Glad you liked it! And thanks for the rating!
This was great !!
Time consuming to make, but oh so delicious!! It makes a LOT. Looking forward to leftovers. 😃
HI Cindy, YES this dish is a little bit steppy but its SO worth it! And yes, I’m telling you, the leftovers are the best part!!
Made this last night and absolutely loved it! My husband is a true pizza snob, and he devoured this dish!
Just asking of those of you that have have made this – would it be better if the veggies were chopped smaller before roasting?
Hi Johnnie, I recommend chopping the veggies a medium size because you want to maintain a pizza ‘slice’ while cutting the ‘pie’. If the veggies are too small, the slice will fall apart.
I agree .. some of my broccoli and green onions were too small and became mush. It taste sooo good. But when I do it next I will keep all veggies chunky, do a better job draining off oil and fluid from veggies after first roast and shorten cooking time for both roastings by a third. I like a little resistance when I bite into veggies.
Absolutely yummy. Thank you for this recipe.
HI Christine, glad you liked it! and thanks for the rating!
i hope i can make this. its so healthy
Hi Angel, I think you should try it!
So easy and SO delicious! I used 1red and 1green bell pepper, zucchini and cauliflower for my main veggies and cooked it on my round stone which has sides. It was a huge hit! Will definitely make again!
Hi Angie, LOVE that you made it in a round shape. like a pizzA!!!! Thanks for the rating too!
This satisfied my pizza craving. So good!! I added Italian sausage to mine.
Hi Rhonda.. i need to add sausage to mine! Thanks for the recommendation!
Tasted delicious. Wow!!
Hi Jill, glad you liked it! Thanks for the rating!
Are you certain about the fiber? That’s a lot of vegetables to only yield 3 grams. But if that is so, means there are 12 net grams of carbs per serving. I made it and it was yummy but that carb count is just a bit high for me for a single meal.
Hi Pam, yea that doesn’t make sense to me either. I plug into my website’s nutritional calculator and it generates the info…
Another amazing recipe. Thanks for sharing Stella!
Awesome! Glad you liked the dish!
The is absolutely delicious! Will definitely make it again.
Hi Christine… thanks so much for the kind feedback and I’m glad you liked it!
Was really good thanks – had a craving for pizza and this hit the spot. I used pizza sauce as minor substitute but great recipe.
Hi Chad, Perfect with the pizza sauce! Thanks for trying out the recipe and rating it so kindly!
Since I have not made as yet, my question has to do with leftovers? Was it easy to remove the leftovers from the pan and how would you reheat the leftover?
This dish was so delicious. I made it exactly as listed. On the next day, the leftovers were even tastier. My family loved it……even my picky 5 y.o. grandson.
I will add some finely ground sausage next time. Meat is surely not needed, but I’m curious how it will come out.
Oh my goodness, this is so crazy delish that I have not only made it for dinner three consecutive nights this week, but am planning a repeat performance this weekend! It tastes absolutely divine and as an unexpected bonus, my house smells like a 5-star Italian restaurant while it’s cooking. In addition to your recipe, I added what I had on hand such as kalamata olives, pepperoni and thinly sliced garlic cloves. Heavenly!
My family enjoyed this dish! It is delicious and filling – so yummy – I had to share this recipe with friends!!! I’m preparing to try another recipe soon. Thanks!!!
Ever since I saw this dish on Instagram, I’ve been tasting it and could hardly wait to try it. I made it tonight and it was a big hit with my husband and I!! I added feta cheese and turkey sausage crumbles, but I’m already thinking of other things I can add. Shared the recipe on both FB and IG!! Thank you ❤️
Thank you for this awesome recipe and satisfying my pizza craving. I added ham for protein and swapped broccoli for cauliflower.
This was delicious and beautiful too. I didn’t use mushrooms so I added another pepper and some asparagus. My guests felt like they got a gourmet dinner — it tasted as good as it looked. The cheese on top turned a golden brown, the cherry tomatoes roasted and didn’t burn and the cheese got crispy around the edges. I’m looking forward to making this again!
what kind of breadcrumbs, plain or seasoned and does zucchini get mushy?
is it possible to freeze leftovers?
Not a fan of zucchini. What would be a good substitute? This looks so delicious… Hope to try it this weekend.
Are the carbs the same if you use almond flour instead of the breadcrumbs?
Less carbs here if you use almond flour instead of breadcrumbs
This is our go to pizza fix! Guilt free! Great leftovers too! We have used mushrooms and cauliflower. Sometimes we add cooked sausage or meat on the last step . These recipes are amazing! My husband and I have lost 40lbs each! Thank you!
OMG this is amazing! Once you cut the veggies it’s SOOO easy and delicious. Since I eat Keto I substituted ground pork rinds for the breadcrumbs/Al Flour and it turned out great. Even heated up leftovers were delicious. Thank you
Delicious!! I added some very thinly sliced Brussels sprouts just because I had them. Will definitely make this again!
I’m certain this is going to be a major Hit..thank you
How long is this good in the refrigerator if I want to meal prep with it 🙂
What an excellent recipe. Flavors are extremely tasty, very satisfying meal, and easy to make. When you cut into it does not fall apart. It reheats like a charm. I just made sure all liquid was removed before putting it in the refrigerator. Not soggy and holding up well. I was going to try and freeze some to see how it holds up but it doesn’t look like there will be any left to do so 🙂
Fabulous! Highly recommend for a meatless meal! 5 stars easily!
Nice recipe but my breadcrumbs just sat there and we’re uncooked? Is that normal?
Great recipe! Used Japanese eggplant, cauliflower, yellow squash, red peppers and broccoli as that is what I had. Turned out great. Will make again. Thank you 😊
How would this be modified to be made in an air fryer?
Wonderful just wonderful
I made this tonight and it was awesome! And it’s a great way to use up leftover veggies. Thanks for the great recipe!
My husband says it’s the best pizza he’s ever had!! Big compliment. Out of marinara and mushrooms so I made my own, used sun dried tomatoes and a mission protein flatbread as a base. Very tasty!
Hello,
Your probably tired of me saying this but I “promise you this is one of the BEST recipes I’ve ever made. I was searching for something that My husband and our friend that has stage 4 cancer would like that contained lots of vegetables (only mentioned his condition because like said the vegetables were healthy). My goodness they consumed the EN TIRE pizza in one setting and since then have asked for it 3/times and now every Friday. I have tried some of your other recipes and again I PROMISE they were thus, fare they were ALL A HIT. I was so grateful to see our friend smile and say humm this is soooo good. Thank you so much for blessing us with such delicious recipes.
I made this while my KY daughter was visiting and we LOVED it! We even put in on that canned chicken ‘crust’. Am making it tonight for a funeral tomorrow hoping they enjoy it… comfort food…
The whole family loved it. A surprising hit! Def. a regular and will add cauliflower next time.
Hi Andy, Glad it was enjoyed by ALL! Thanks for trying out the dish!
Made this for dinner last night, so good! I added some cooked ground turkey sausage. My husband and I loved it. Will definitely add to our weekly menu. Great way to get a lot of veggies in.
Oh I’m so glad I came up on your recipes!!! you’re an amazing cook and healthy too!! tried the roasted vegetables with chicken and it was amazing!! can’t wait to make this one as well!!
This is what I have been waiting for……. You done the impossible.. Loved it!!!
I had been wanting to try this recipe for awhile. I finally bought all the ingredients and made it a few nights ago. OMG!! It was amazing. So delicious and filling. I didn’t even miss the pizza crust. While it was baking my kitchen smelled just like an Italian restaurant. This recipe is a keeper. I will definitely be making it again. It even tastes good cold. Thank you for this great recipe.
This was absolutely delicious 😋!! It tastes just like pizza.
Hi Jen, I agree with you! Its one of my personal faves!
This Veggie Pizza Was Delicious!! I Just Need To Figure Out How To Make It Less Watery From The Zucchini, I Am Assuming!! Any Was Wondering How Do You Reheat??
Made this tonight with veggies I had on hand. Asparagus, bell pepper, mushrooms, broccolini, beets and bokchoy. Winner!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Jackie, sounds like an awesome combo!
Made this last night, Vegan style. It was so delicious!! Will make this regularly. We loved it.
Thanks Stella.
Hi Susan, thanks for sharing your feedback with everyone and I’m glad it was a winner for you!
I can’t wait to take this out of the oven. I added a small can of anchovies! Your recipes are so easy, delicious and doable!! I cook a week’s worth of lunches for myself and enjoy each meal. Thank you!!
Hi Dawnn, Thanks so much to you for trying out the dishes! I’m so glad they resonate with you! Cheers!
Tried this last night and simply put .. outstanding !! next time I would like to add some sausage .. should I pre cook the sausage first ?
Thanks
Randy
So yummy!
Short question: by the nutritional info, what is the serving size?
Recipe looks AH-MAZINNG!!!
This was great! I used almond flour instead of bread crumbs. And added some cooked chicken.
I am doing low carb meals and have found this one very easy, it is also very filling. Enables me to stick to my two meals a day plan. Thank you. 🙂
Hi Barbara, that’s awesome! Glad you liked the dish!
Sooooo good! Veggie pizza is one of my faves- and this is just as good but healthier! I used eggplant instead of the peppers and I highly recommend.
Absolutely delicious!!! I just added bacon pieces, amazing, thank you!
This was such a wonderful recipe. Easy and so yummy! My family loved it. Thanks
so good!!!
It’s delicious. There is no other words to describe it. I made some changes because I didn’t have all the ingredients and it worked perfectly! We loved it! Very good indeed!
Thank you for sharing this treasure!
I look forward to making it again!
Hi Julianne, glad the recipe was enjoyed! Thanks for the kind rating too!
So happy I found your site. Thank you looks delicious
Hi Maryann, thanks so much for being here and trying out the recipes!
Looks delicious 😋
HI Wanda, thanks so much!
I think you should cut down on your use of papertowels. The way you suggest using it is super wasteful. Wood is a ressource that we currently use at a rate of double the amount the forrests on the planet can reproduce.
This was amazing! Will definitely make again and will add chunks of roasted chicken!
Hi Lelly, glad it was a winner and I love the idea of adding on chicken!
This was very delicious. I did have a lot of water after the veggies roasted, but I followed you instruction and sopped it up with some paper towels. The end product was not watery. I added an extra tablespoon of seasoning, I also do, and it was very flavorful. The breadcrumb mixture was so brilliant, it really felt like pizza but just one you need to eat with a fork and knife. Will definitely have this in the regular rotation.
HI Amy, glad you tried it and liked it! Thanks for sharing your feedback!
We have a large family. It seems like there’s always somebody that doesn’t like dinner. This was approved by children and adults. It’s healthy and delicious. If you will be in a hurry, you can do the prep the night before.
Hello and this is the winner for best compliment! I have the same issue too and love to hear this worked out for everyone!
Wow- just amazing! Had this for a girls weekend with mom and sisters, and everyone loved it! Somehow, it’s even better than actual pizza! Thanks so much for sharing so many wonderful recipes 🙂
Hi Jennifer, that’s right!! I love it better than regular pizza too! Thank you for the kind rating!
Made this tonight my hubby loved it, it was a bit too strong tasting for me, but I added a little tomato paste which probably made it too strong!
Hi Heidi the recipe doesnt call for tomato paste and has a strong flavor if used incorrectly. Sorry it was not to your liking!
love this pizza. 3rd time making it
Thats awesome Sarah! Glad you like it like I do!
Followed the same directions but added almond flour & used cauliflower…definitely will make again. 😋
next one I will expirement with shredded chicken & white sauce!
HI Christina, that sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing your feedback and trying the dish!
This is so delicious ! Thank you for your wonderful healthy recipes . I’ve been making so many and each one is a hit!
Hi Mischa, THank you so much! Glad you are enjoying the dishes!!
I love this dish. I host students from around the world so this is a great dish that can be used across all nations. Thank you. 🙏
HI Barbara, so glad its a winner across the board for everyone! Thanks so much for the kind rating too!
I love your broccoli crust pizza too 🙂 Have you ever portioned and frozen leftovers? Or about how long do you recommend they keep in the refrigerator? Thank You!!
HI Laurie, Thank you, I typically make this and have it throughout the week – they keep for 3-4 days. I have never frozen the pieces but it should work!
