Low-Calorie Pepperoni Pizza Recipe

All those humungous numbers made us rethink our food choices. But luckily, you can have a pepperoni pizza at home without having too much guilt. And yes! It’s not the thin crust and less cheese combo from commercial chains. We’re looking for something different here, like the cloud pizza.

Have you heard of that moniker? If you haven’t, let us show you the ingredients you’ll need:

• 4 eggs (whites only)
• 2 tsp gluten-free arrowroot starch
• ½ tsp Italian seasoning
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
• ¼ cup low-sugar marinara sauce
• ½ cup cheese (mozzarella is preferred)
• Less-fat pepperoni slices

Instruction:

Preheat the oven to 350°F, then start creating the pizza crust. Start by whipping the egg whites in a large bowl using a hand mixer.

Once it forms stiff peaks, you can add the starch and the seasoning of your choice. You can follow the one on the list, but feel free to add others.

Line the baking sheet with parchment, then pour the egg white batter until it follows a circular shape. Par-bake it for 12 to 15 minutes. Next, add your toppings, like mozzarella and pepperoni.

To cap off everything, place it back in the oven and cook for 5 to 7 minutes.
