Bell Pepper Pizza Bites

As soon as I made the decision to try timed nutrition I was excited and also really scared because as you know I am a foodie of all foodies and YES I want results but I also need to eat food that I absolutely enjoy because if I don't ... well, I will just fall off the wagon.

This new program that I am trying out tells you exactly how to place your foods through the day and when I saw that my blue container was placed with a veggie I was instantly heartbroken. This meant no more tortilla pizzas on Friday night so I GOT TO WORK and THIS recipe was born and my oh my and I so happy I came up with this one! 

It is like having pizza with zero guilt and ALL of the results and it is AMAZING oh and it reheats really well! I am sharing all of my time nutrition meals in my IG stories so if you would like to follow along check it out at Lisa_m_Hauck 

I am gonna give you the recipe to make 1 servings and you can double or triple this as you need too!

INGREDIENTS 

  • 1 green bell pepper. with 4 sides cut off to leave a little divet to add sauce and cheese into ( you can use any color you like, I prefer green)
  • 2 tablespoons of a clean Marinara sauce ( no added sugar) 
  • 1 oz of fresh mozzarella cut into small chunks 
  • A pinch of dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

  1. Bring a small pan of salted water to a boil,  add the bell peppers and boil for 2-3 min just until slightly tender. ( do not overcook these or they will be too soggy)
  2. On a paper towel place cooked bell pepper and pat dry, salt and pepper as desired
  3.  Preheat oven to broil and get out a sheet pan placing the bell peppers right on the pan
  4. Add marinara sauce, cheese, oregano and pepper to the bell pepper pizzas
  5. Place under broiler just until cheese is bubbly and brown about 3 min. ( keep a close eye on these and do not walk away)

If you are making more than 1 serving ( I always do) then place them in a shallow storage dish and allow to cool. Place in the fridge and reheat in the microwave until warmed through and ENJOY!
