Weight Watchers-friendly Pizza Bowls
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cauliflower rice (or 1 medium cauliflower head, riced)
- 1/2 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce (look for one with low sugar)
- 1/4 cup pepperoni slices (turkey or lean pepperoni to keep it lighter)
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
- 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the cauliflower rice:
If using fresh cauliflower, chop it into florets and pulse it in a food processor until it resembles rice. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the cauliflower rice for about 3–5 minutes, or until tender. Season with salt and pepper. - Assemble the pizza bowls:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In an oven-safe bowl or a small baking dish, add the cooked cauliflower rice as the base. Spread marinara sauce on top of the rice. - Add the toppings:
Layer the pepperoni, bell peppers, and mushrooms on top of the sauce. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over everything, then season with oregano, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. - Bake:
Place the bowl in the oven and bake for about 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. - Garnish and serve:
Remove from the oven and top with fresh basil (optional). Let it cool slightly before serving.
