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.

Thank you for this awesome recipe and satisfying my pizza craving. I added ham for protein and swapped broccoli for cauliflower.
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 ❤️
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!!!
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!
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.
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?
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!
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!
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!
Tasted delicious. Wow!!
Hi Jill, glad you liked it! Thanks for the rating!
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!
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!
i hope i can make this. its so healthy
Hi Angel, I think you should try it!
Absolutely yummy. Thank you for this recipe.
HI Christine, glad you liked it! and thanks for the rating!
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.
Made this last night and absolutely loved it! My husband is a true pizza snob, and he devoured this dish!
