Ingredients
• • ½ cup / 120g Marinara sauce
• 1 Low-carb pita bread
• 2 oz / 56g Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 14 slices Pepperoni
• 1 oz / 28g Roasted red peppers, chopped
• 1 tsp Olive oil
Instructions
1. Directions1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
2. Carefully slice the pita in half horizontally to create two thin rounds. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil, and toast for 2-3 minutes until just golden and crisp.
3. Remove the toasted pita from the oven. Spread the marinara sauce evenly over each half, leaving a small border for the crust.
4. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheddar, then arrange the pepperoni slices and chopped roasted red peppers on top.
5. Return the pizzas to the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly browned at the edges. Serve immediately!

Pro Tips
• • Don’t skip the pre-toasting step! It’s the secret to a crispy crust that won’t get soggy from the sauce.
• For an authentic pizza ‘cheese pull,’ use a blend of low-moisture mozzarella and the cheddar cheese.
• Finish with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a kick of heat or some fresh basil for a burst of freshness.
• For extra-bubbly, browned cheese, switch the oven to broil for the final 30-60 seconds, watching carefully to prevent burning.
