Keto Zucchini Pizza Recipe
Do you sense a trend around here?
This is the fourth low carb pizza recipe we’ve shared on Sizzle and Salt! Apparently, we just can’t get enough.
It all started with our Breakfast Fathead Pizza, and most recently we perfected a Cauliflower Pizza crust (that doesn’t taste like cauliflower). However, we got requests for a zucchini pizza – which sounded like the perfect excuse to make mini muffin pan pizzas that would be perfect for lunch prep!
Can zucchini pizza be frozen? No, the zucchini really doesn’t stand up to freezing very well, but the filling can be frozen for up to 3 months.
For my low carb friends, this recipe works out to 2g net carbs per mini pizza! I find two mini pizzas are very filling for me, but I’ll leave it to you to determine what your serving size is.

How to Make Low Carb Muffin Pan Pizzas
Preheat the oven to 320 °F.
Make pizza filling: in a bowl combine mushrooms, bell pepper, onion, passata, oregano and thyme.
Using a vegetable peeler, peel zucchini into thick ribbons. Place on a paper-towel lined cutting board and sprinkle with salt to release water. Let sit for 5 minutes, then dab away water and salt and use them to line the cups in a 12 hole muffin tray.
Fill with the following (layering in order):
- Mozzarella
- Pepperoni (1 slice per cup)
- Pizza filling
- Pepperoni (I slice per cup)

Bake for 30 minutes. Leave to cool in the pan for at least 5 minutes before removing. If the zucchini has released a lot of water during cooking, sit on an absorbent paper towel for a minute or so before serving.
