Ingredients

Units Scale

Serves 4

  • For the base:
    • 1 cup (240 g) marinara or pizza sauce
    • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Protein toppings:
    • 1 lb (450 g) ground chicken, turkey, or lean beef
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
    • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Vegetable toppings:
    • 1 cup (100 g) bell peppers, diced
    • 1 cup (100 g) mushrooms, sliced
    • 1/2 cup (50 g) black olives, sliced (optional)
    • 1/2 cup (50 g) red onion, diced
  • Cheese and garnish:
    • 1 1/2 cups (150 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
    • 1/2 cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1 tablespoon fresh basil or parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Cook the protein:
    • In a large skillet, cook the ground chicken, turkey, or beef over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the vegetables:
    • In the same skillet, lightly sauté the bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the olives if using.
  3. Assemble the pizza bowls:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • In 4 oven-safe bowls or ramekins, spoon 1/4 cup of marinara sauce into the bottom of each bowl. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
    • Divide the cooked protein evenly among the bowls. Top with sautéed vegetables.
    • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top of each bowl.
  4. Bake the pizza bowls:
    • Place the bowls on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Garnish and serve:
    • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh basil or parsley. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Add extra protein with sliced turkey pepperoni, grilled chicken, or crumbled sausage.
  • For a spicier kick, sprinkle red pepper flakes over the cheese before baking.
  • Use a low-fat or dairy-free cheese option for dietary preferences.
