How does a tasty and nutritious pizza sound? Even better, a keto-friendly pizza that has all of the flavors but none of the carbs? If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, these keto cabbage pizzas will be a treat.
As the name suggests, the base of these pizzas is crispy cabbage. To make the crispy cabbage pizza bases, you need to cut a fresh green cabbage into thick slices (rounds) and then bake them until cooked through and crispy. When the cabbage cooks, it transforms from slightly bitter to sweet and silky-smooth. It’s perfect for a natural pizza base.
Once the cabbage bases are ready, simply add a layer of mustard as a base sauce and then top them off with corned beef, onions, and cheese for the pizza “filling.” The pizzas are then baked until cooked all of the ways through and crispy on the top and bottom.
Our filling for this recipe is Irish-inspired and provides you with lots of energy without consuming any carbs. However, if you prefer you can swap the corned beef for bacon or ham or any other meat and also add other vegetables too like capsicums or courgettes.
When people first see cabbage being used as a pizza base, they are often skeptical but quickly change their minds when they take their first bite. Give this recipe a try for lunch or dinner, we promise you and your family won’t be disappointed!
