Keto Pizza Skillet
Description
This skillet recipe starts by browning sweet Italian turkey sausage and then sautéeing a mixture of riced cauliflower and broccoli for texture and vegetable content. Pizza sauce is stirred in for a tomato flavor, creating a pseudo crust effect without traditional dough.
Layering pepperoni slices and shredded mozzarella cheese over the vegetable and meat base, then covering the skillet allows the cheese to melt into a creamy, cohesive topping. A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese adds a salty finish.
The dish mimics the flavors of pizza using keto-friendly ingredients, making it suitable for low-carbohydrate diets while delivering savory and satisfying elements typical of classic pizza. It can be served directly from the skillet as a simple meal.
The notes mention specific brands and suggest crisping pepperoni separately for added texture, which could enhance the finished dish’s mouthfeel.
