Sausage Zoodle Pizza Bake- Piping hot pizza slices loaded with sausage, cheese, bell peppers, mushrooms and olives. All the things you love about pizza but with one big difference, this version is low-carb! Zoodles (zucchini noodles) form the crust of this healthy pizza option and coming in at just about 200 calories a slice you can indulge guilt-free!

If you’ve been following SHK for a bit then you know I’m a huge fan of zoodles (zucchini noodles). They are such a great pasta alternative (a couple of my favorites: zucchini noodles + avocado pesto or zucchini noodles with heirloom tomatoes and feta) if you are looking to keep things low-carb or keep the calorie count a bit lower. Turns out zoodles are also a great low-carb alternative to traditional pizza crust. And super simple to make!

Using a spiralizer or a julienne peeler you can whip up a batch of zoodles in about 2 minutes. While you are cooking up the sausage and cutting up the veggies to top the pizza, I recommend giving the zucchini noodles a liberal dash of salt and letting them sit for a about 15 min in a colander. The zucchini will release any extra water ensuring no soggy pizza crusts.

Mix the zucchini noodles with the egg, cheeses ( Parmesan and Mozzarella) a bit of flour and cornmeal.

Spread in the bottom of a 9″ pie pan and bake for about 15 minutes until the zucchini crust has set.

Top the zoodle crust with pizza sauce (or Marinara) and all the toppings! I’m using sausage, mushrooms, olives, bell peppers and cheese (onions too if you want). Feel free to sub/add any of your favorite toppings.

Bake for an additional 15-20 min until cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.

Let the pizza set for a few minutes and then cut into slices. The crust if firm enough you can pick up a slice and eat it just like regular pizza. Low-carb healthy pizza deliciousness!
