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.

This was PHENOMENAL! Mixed half breadcrumbs with half almond flour to try and cut some of the carbs and it came out amazing! Thank you for this recipe
Make your own gluten free bread crumbs. Using gf bread. We do it all the time. Can get gluten free panko, where we live.
I’ve had this on my Pinterest page for a while. It looks so good!!! I made it today exactly as written with almond flour… ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!! It will definitely be on my regular rotation. Thanks so much Stella…👍
delicious!!! thanks for sharing. easy to make and taste amazing.
Glad you liked the recipe Robyn!
Made it! Love it!
Wow, this was SO good. Will be making again and again. Came out so perfect. Thank you!!!
Delicious!! Can I use an air fryer to reheat? If so, what temp and how long?
Tastes AMAZING! Just like a pizza without all the carbs and calories! thank you thank you for sharing this!!
Excellent! I omitted the mushrooms and used about 1/4 of the onion. I let the cheese get golden brown and crispy along the edges. Surprisingly filling. Delicious!! I look forward to making it again.
this was so delicious 😋 will definitely making again but might try eggplant!
Delicious! My 15 year old, who complains anytime vegetables are served ate his plate completely clean…. and said, “that was pretty mid”. Translated this means he really enjoyed it, but would never admit to it.
Thank you for the great recipe!
I’m a new subscriber and this was my 1st meal. This was amazing!! My hubby loved it. 😍 I told him,” Now this is how you make a vegetable pizza” It was soooo good it would give Papa John’s veggie pizza a run for their money!🤣🤣. I added sliced black olives, red onion, sugar bomb tomatoes sliced, mushrooms, Zucchini, red bell pepper, and Broccoli.
Can the leftovers be frozen?
this is The Bomb! I am also wondering how it’s 15 grams of carbs when it’s mostly veggies?
Hi Leah, I’m not sure about that. We have a nutritional calculator on the back end of the website that we plug the ingredients and the amounts into and it produces the calculations. Sorry I cant be of more help!
I would think the bread crumbs and tomato sauce have carbs. also veges do have carbs but very small amounts
They are complex carbs = healthy! Simple carbs or dead carbs as we call them are the breads, pasta, rice ect….
OMG! This was AMAZE BALLS!! Like I can’t not get over how good this was.
I did not miss the meat at all. The only thing I did differently, was used a nut coating ( I think it was the diamond Walnuts and pecan coating, ranch flavor). Nonetheless, this recipe was as 15/10.
Hi Keinesha, That’s fantastic feedback and I’m so happy you loved the pizza!
Thank you for trying it and coming back to write a review!!
Just made it. So perfect. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe
Hi Geeta, I’m so glad the recipe turned out well for you! Thank you for the kind rating!
This looks Yummly! Is there an alternative to using Tomatoes or Marinara? I can’t eat that anymore 😒 But sooo want to try this.
Also, is this sort of a Mediterranean type dish?
Can’t wait to try it soon! 🍕🍽
Just leave it out or use dollops of pesto!
my daughter doesn’t like red sauce so we used alfredo sauce, so good! 😋
