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.

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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
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.
Looks delicious 😋
HI Wanda, thanks so much!
So happy I found your site. Thank you looks delicious

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 good!!!
This was such a wonderful recipe. Easy and so yummy! My family loved it. Thanks
Absolutely delicious!!! I just added bacon pieces, amazing, thank you!
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.
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!
This was great! I used almond flour instead of bread crumbs. And added some cooked chicken.
Short question: by the nutritional info, what is the serving size?
Recipe looks AH-MAZINNG!!!
