Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Low Carb Crustless Pizza Bowl

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spread a layer of marinara sauce in an oven-safe bowl, followed by a layer of mozzarella cheese, then your choice of protein, and top with a variety of vegetables. Repeat until full, finishing with cheese.
Sprinkle Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese over the top layer of cheese. Bake for 10–12 minutes until bubbly and golden.
If desired, switch to broil for 2–3 minutes for a crispier topping, watching closely to avoid burning.
