How To Make Perfect Low Carb Pizza Bites.

There’s a couple key things to remember when making low carb pizza bites. Here’s what I learned in my experiments:

Chop The Pepperoni. Just Do It.

My initial vision was lining the mini silicone muffin cups with slices of turkey pepperoni.

Yeah, that did not work. If you want to fiddle with a bunch of tiny appetizers, you go right ahead. Not me!

I simply take a stack of several pepperoni pieces and cut it in thirds one way, then thirds the opposite way. You end up with tiny little squares.

If you’re doing a big batch for a party, a food processor makes the work much quicker. But for just one batch it didn’t take much time at all to cut it with a knife.

Too Much Sauce Is Not Your Friend.

I figured out that too much sauce is not a good idea. It makes them just…well, sloppy and messy. Very tasty though!

Boo. The sauce is one of my favorite parts about pizza! Especially my super easy, no-sugar, 5 Minute Pizza Sauce.

If you like super sauce on your pizza, go ahead and add more. But, be prepared to use a fork to eat them. Or, just slurp them out of the little muffin liners.

Use The Finely Shredded Mozzarella Cheese.

You’d think cheese is cheese, right? Big shreds…little shreds, who cares? Well, apparently these little mini pizza bites care!

I’m not sure why I tried finely shredded but it seemed like a good idea at my next recipe testing session.

That’s totally the ticket. It’s usually labeled fancy shredded mozzarella.

After pondering that for a bit, I figured the smaller shreds melt more quickly and are more evenly distributed among all the ingredients. That allows it to kind of act like glue and hold all the glorious pizza things together.

I buy blocks of cheese and shred it myself, usually just a hand grater. But for large amounts of cheese I pull out my handy food processor and it makes super quick work of that task.

You certainly can use preshredded cheese if you like. I’m just not a fan of the cellulose and whatever they put in pre-shredded cheese to keep it from sticking together.

Can You Make Low Carb Pizza Bites In An Air Fryer?

Why, yes you can! It also takes less time, too. On average, oven baking takes around 15 minutes. In my Ninja Foodi, it took just 5.

If you’re wanting to make a lot of these for a party the oven is probably the best method. You can do more at a time then.

But, if you’re just making them as a snack for yourself, pop a few in the air fryer and you’ve got a delicious, low carb, gluten free, pizza snack in no time.

Additionally, you could even make this ahead of time and keep the filled muffin cups in the fridge. Then just grab what you want and pop them in the air fryer.

Are These Low Carb Pizza Bites Better Hot Or Cold?

Yes. As in they’re delicious either way.

If you love cold, leftover pizza then you’ll love these mini pizza bites cold, too. They make great snacks to pack in a THM Snack Box, lunches, etc.
