Layer the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the mushrooms, bell peppers, olives, and pepperoni. Finally, give it a sprinkle of Parmesan on top for that extra cheesiness! 5. Pop the bowls in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and has that glorious golden-brown bubbly look. 6. Remove from the oven, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley, then serve piping hot! Pro Tip: Feel free to mix and match your toppings! Cooked spinach, jalapeños, or a dollop of ricotta can make delightful additions! **Nutritional Values (Per Serving)**: - Calories: 375 - Protein: 25g - Fat: 28g - Carbohydrates: 6g - Fiber: 2g **Serving Size**: 1 bowl #KetoPizzaBowl #LowCarbDelight #CheesyGoodness #HealthyEating #PizzaLovers
