Ingredients you’ll need to make miniature pizzas with a low carb pizza crust:

• Pasta Sauce or Pizza Sauce – any kind
• Mozzarella Cheese 
• Red Onions – diced on sliced in thin strips 
• Baby Spinach
• Cooked Chicken – any kind will work, works best with rotisserie or left over chicken you have from another meal
• BBQ Sauce 
• Pita Bread – THE SECRET WEAPON! 
• Parsley, fresh basil or Italian Seasoning is optional, but I like to always add a little something extra! 

My recommendations on helping you meet your macro goals, or meal prepping notes for miniature pizzas:

Low Carb Pizza Crust:

Pita bread – The ultimate hack for fast and quick low carb pizza crust for miniature pizzas because there is no prep. Simply assemble the pizza and cook.

The brand I go for is Joseph’s Pita Bread. For 1 whole pita it’s only 60 calories, 9 grams of carbs and 6 grams of protein. There are a ton of options out there, choose your favorite for this recipe.

Topping Notes:

Mozzarella Cheese – if you’re feeling really fancy, go for some fresh mozzarella. My mouth is literally watering thinking about it!!

To keep it short and simple, I tend to gravitate towards the pre shredded because its more convenient, but will use fresh if I want to be extra LOL.

You can certainly use a fat free version because it is lower in calories, just keep in mind it will not melt as nicely because of the fat content but still hits the spot! 

BBQ Sauce – You are using so little, so you really can use any kind. If you have been dying for some sweet baby ray’s, go for it!!!

I always have a bottle of Stubb’s original BBQ sauce in my kitchen and is what I use for this recipe because its more macro friendly. 

Meal Prep Notes:

Chicken – You can use any cooked chicken for this recipe. I always reccomend grabbing a container of pre shredded rotisserie chicken when your at the store.

It comes in handy for SO MANY quick meals, that you’ll be glad you have it to whip together something quickly.

Think miniature pizzas, wraps, dips, salads, and the list goes on. 

Onions – You can slice up an onion quickly for this recipe, or have some on hand already.

Part of my meal prepping reccomendation is to dice up some peppers and onions and keep on hand. They will stay good in the refrigerator for a week, or you can opt to dice them and freeze them for longer use. 

Full recipe on how to make miniature pizzas with a low carb pizza crust option:

step 1:

Preheat conventional or toaster oven to 425 degrees and assemble your pizza. These can also be made in the air fryer. I suggest lowering the temp to 400 degrees and cook until cheese melts and its golden brown. 

step 2:

Spray a pizza pan or baking sheet with non stick spray so the pita bread doesn’t stick. If you don’t own a pizza pan with holes, I recommend grabbing one. Your pizza will cook perfectly every single time. The one we use is linked right here if you want to check them out.

step 3:

Assemble the pizza with your favorite toppings. Place the assembled miniature pizza on the pan and cook for 10 minutes once the oven has preheated.

step 4:

Remove from the oven and let cool. Enjoy!!
