    If you are trying to watch your carb and gluten intake, you shouldn't have to miss out on pizza! Pure Flavor® Sweet Bell Peppers are the perfect "crust" for these mini pizzas. They are thick, meaty, and so delicious! They add a sweetness to your "pizza" that you wouldn't be able to get from regular pizza crust. Top them with your favorite toppings for a healthy and delicious dinner!

    This recipe is brought to you in collaboration with Pure Flavor®. Thank you for supporting the brands that make my blog possible! All opinions are my own.

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    • It's easy to make! No need to worry about letting the dough rise, these peppers just need a few minutes in the oven before you load them up with your favorite pizza toppings.
    • This recipe is low carb! Since we aren't using any flour, these bell pepper pizzas are also gluten free!
    • They are great for meal prep! You can make these pizzas on a Sunday and keep them in the refrigerator throughout the week. When you are ready to eat them, pop them in the oven to reheat and serve with a side salad. A perfect dinner!

    Ingredients You'll Need

    To make the crust of the pizza, you just need Pure Flavor® Sweet Bell Peppers. I'm making these pizzas four different ways, but if you have a favorite way to make pizza, top these bell peppers with whatever you would like!

    The toppings are laid out
    • Pure Flavor® Sweet Bell Peppers- They provide a thick "crust" for your pizza
    • Shredded Chicken- You can make your own Instant Pot shredded chicken, or you can use a rotisserie chicken shredded.
    • Cheese- Feta for the Greek pizza and mozzarella for all the other types of pizza.
    • Artichokes and Kalamata Olives- for the Greek pizza.
    • Marinara sauce- If you have homemade, use that or use your favorite brand.

    Equipment For Bell Pepper Pizzas

    • Cutting Board
    • Knives
    • Parchment Paper- to prevent the peppers and cheese from sticking to the baking sheet.

    How To Make Bell Pepper Pizzas

    1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
    2. Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the stem and seeds.
    3. Place the bell pepper halves on the baking sheet and press them down so they flatten slightly.
    4. Bake the peppers for 10 minutes to soften them slightly.
    5. After the 10 minutes is up, top the peppers with your favorite toppings.
    6. Bake them again for another 10 minutes.
    7. Remove them from the oven and serve.

    What To Top Bell Pepper Pizzas With

    Buffalo Chicken Pizza- In a bowl, mix together your favorite buffalo sauce and shredded chicken. Spoon the buffalo chicken into the pepper and top with mozzarella cheese.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I make these pizzas ahead of time?

    Yes! You can make the entire pizza ahead of time, keep them in airtight containers in the refrigerator, and then when you are ready to serve them, reheat them in the microwave or oven.

    What other toppings can I use?

    You can use whatever topping you prefer on pizza! Pepperoni, black olives, broccoli, sausage, or ground beef would all be great options to top these bell peppers.

    Can I broil peppers instead of baking them?

    Yes! You can broil them instead of baking them, but stick close to the oven. When broiling, things can burn very fast. Instead of baking for 10 minutes, you'll want to broil the peppers for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is browned to your liking.
