Bell Pepper Pizzas

Bell Pepper Pizzas use large bell pepper sections as a natural crust topped with pizza sauce, cheese, and a variety of vegetable toppings. The peppers bake until tender with melted cheese bubbling on top, creating a low-carb, colorful snack or appetizer. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes and herbs adds brightness and a subtle kick to the mild pepper base. This recipe allows for customizable toppings and easy portion control.
