How do I make these Pizza Pinwheels?

You can have this tasty keto snack ready in only 4 simple steps!

1. Combine the cream cheese, marinara sauce and Italian seasoning. Spread the mixture over 3/4 of your tortilla.
2. Add your pepperoni and mozzarella on top of the marinara sauce.
3. Roll the tortilla tightly and secure with toothpicks.
4. Chill for at least 30 minutes, then slice and serve!

What should I serve with these Pepperoni Pinwheels?

Of course, a dipping sauce! Try marinara sauce or this easy Homemade Pesto. These would be a great accompaniment to a perfectly simple dinner- try Air Fryer Chicken Breast, Blackened Pork Chops or Pesto Chicken.

Tips for the BEST Pepperoni Roll Ups

• Don’t skip the step of allowing these Keto Pizza Pinwheels to chill in the fridge. This will make them easier to slice.

• To cut the carb count even more, use a cheese wrap instead of the tortilla and just leave out the mozzarella slices. This will also provide you with extra protein!

Is this recipe good for keto meal prep?

Yes, these Keto Pizza Pinwheels are a great idea for keto meal prep! Prepare ahead of time and store in the fridge. I recommend storing in a plastic or glass container with an airtight lid.

I think zucchini boats are delicious low carb miracles. I have always loved zucchini because it is such a versatile vegetable. It is great made into Crispy Zucchini Fries, a low carb sub for noodles, the perfect addition to skewers, and makes delicious cheesy bread! The possibilities are really endless! 

Zucchini boats are one of my go to easy dinners because you can fill them with just about any flavor combination you have on hand for a delicious meal. Pair a protein, sauce and cheese together and you have an easy keto friendly dinner! 

These Keto Pizza Zucchini Boats are no different. Just 5 very basic ingredients and you have a low carb dinner that is sure to satisfy those pizza cravings! 

What ingredients do you need for Pizza Zucchini Boats?

• Zucchini
• Italian Sausage
• Marinara: a low carb option like Rao’s. 
• Parmesan Cheese
• Mozzarella Cheese

How do you make Pizza Zucchini Boats?

1. Slice the zucchini lengthwise and use a small spoon to hollow out the inside of the zucchini. 
2. Combine the cooked Italian sausage, low carb marinara and Parmesan cheese in a medium size mixing bowl.
3. Spoon the sausage mixture into the zucchini and top with shredded mozzarella. 
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is melted and the zucchini is tender. 

What are some easy low carb zucchini recipes?

As I mentioned, zucchini is a staple in our house. I use this often for easy casseroles. Creating “zoodles” or zucchini noodles with a spiralizer is a great way to sub noodles in any dish. I used this method for my favorite Keto Tuna Zoodle Casserole. It is packed with zucchini and tuna in a creamy cheese sauce. It has all the flavor of a classic tuna noodle casserole without the carbs. 

Another casserole I love is this Keto Taco Zoodle Casserole. A pre-keto favorite in our house was Taco Mac. This dish features taco meat, tomatoes, zucchini noodles and a creamy cheese sauce. Some other favorites include:

• Crispy Zucchini Fries: an excellent sub for fries, I love to dip mine in low carb ranch. 
• Greek Salmon Skewers: ultra low carb and incredibly satisfying
• Keto Cheesy Bread: less than 2 net carbs per slice, don’t forget to dip in low carb marinara.

Are there other keto zucchini boat recipes?

Of course! Actually these Buffalo Chicken Zucchini Boats are probably made the most in our household. I love that you can use up leftover chicken and these can be made in the oven or air fryer. You may also like:

• Cheeseburger Zucchini Boats
• Taco Zucchini Boats
• Chicken Alfredo Zucchini Boats
• Chili Cheese Zucchini Boats (not keto, but definitely low carb)
