    Ingredients

    • Avocado Oil
    • Lean ground beef, bison, chicken or turkey: these are all lean protein source options! Choose your favorite.
    • Salt & pepper, to taste
    • Garlic powder, to taste
    • Italian seasoning, to taste
    • Medium Zucchini’s, chopped
    • Marinara sauce: I love the born simple brand for this dish but you can use your favorite!
    • Low Fat Shredded Mozzarella cheese or shredded pepper jack if you like spice (that’s what I used)
    • Uncured turkey pepperoni slices

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions

    1. Start by chopping your zucchini either by hand or with a chopper. Set aside.
    2. Add some oil to a large pan on medium high heat then add in your meat of choice. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and italian seasoning to taste and cook until your meat is almost cooked through (when there is no pink showing).
    3. Next add in your chopped zucchini, season with some more salt, pepper, garlic powder and italian seasoning to taste and then let cook for 4-5 more minutes or until the zucchini begins to soften and cook through. Your meat should also be an internal temp of 160 F. Then add in your tomato sauce.
    4. Remove the pan from heat, sprinkle on your shredded mozzarella or pepper jack, top with an even layer of turkey pepperoni and then broil your skillet for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese becomes bubbly with brown spots and your pepperoni is slightly crisped. ENJOY!

    Substitutions

    • Dairy-free – use a dairy-free cheese alternatives to make this dish dairy-free.
    • Vegetables– Feel free to add mushrooms to this dish to add additional fiber and nutrients!

    This dish is gluten-free on its own. Make sure to always check individual packaging to make sure each item is gluten-free as there are often gluten fillers in foods.

    Variations

    • Spicy – use pepperjack cheese and extra red pepper flakes to add heat to this dish. You can also use hot sauce as well.
    • Non-Low Carb – serve over white or brown rice to add some complex carbohydrates to this dish and help keep you full for longer.
    • Toddler & Kid friendly – make sure to use mozzarella (non-spicy) cheese to keep this dish toddler and kid-friendly.

    Equipment

    All you need to make low carb pizza skillet is a large pan that is also oven-friendly. I really like to use my cast iron skillet for this dish but it is not necessary.

    If you’re in the market for an affordable cast iron, I have the Lodge Cast Iron Skillet and it has worked great for us for years!

    Optionally, you can also use a veggie chopper to chop your zucchini as well.

    If you’re in the market for a veggie chopper, this one is my favorite.

    If you’re in the market for some great glass air-tight meal prep containers, these are my favorite.

    Storage

    Once your leftovers have reached room temperature, transfer them to an airtight container to prevent moisture loss and place in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.

    If you plan to store the leftovers for more than a few days, freezing is a good option. Use freezer-safe containers or heavy-duty freezer bags to prevent freezer burn.

    This low carb pizza skillet can be stored in the freezer for up to 2-3 months for optimal flavor and texture.
