How To Make Cabbage Pizza?

Melt some clarified butter in a pan over medium heat, and toss in your drained shredded cabbage. Spread it out evenly like you’re laying down a fluffy green carpet.
Pour your egg mixture on top of that cabbage, and sprinkle some grated cheese on top, then cover that pan and let it cook for 5 minutes on medium.
Now comes the tricky part: flip that pizza over onto a plate, then slide it back into the pan like a pro. Trust us, you’ve got this, but if not, I will show you in the video below.
Now for the fun part: add some pizza sauce and spread it around like it’s hot gossip. Sprinkle on some more grated cheese, and if you’re feeling fancy, throw on some ham or pepperoni slices (optional, of course).
Top that pizza off with even more cheese, like you’re saying “more is more” to your taste buds.
Cover that pan and let that pizza cook for another 8 minutes on low heat.
When the cheese is all melted and bubbly, slice that cabbage pizza up and serve it hot like it’s a spicy take on traditional pizza.
And there you have it! A tasty, low-carb, gluten-free pizza that’s sure to make all your pizza dreams come true (well, most of them, anyway).

Notes
- Do not use napa or savoy cabbage for this recipe. Their leaves are far too delicate. This recipe calls for the standard green “cannonball” cabbage.
- Use a 10-inch skillet for a thicker pizza or a 12-inch skillet for a thinner pizza.
- Experiment with different toppings: While the recipe calls for pizza sauce, ham, or pepperoni, feel free to get creative with your toppings. Try adding cooked bacon, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, or any other veggies or meats you like to your pizza.
- Try grilling, baking, or barbecuing the pizza: While the recipe calls for cooking the pizza on the stovetop, you can also try grilling it on a grill or BBQ or baking it in the oven at 375°F for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Swap the pizza sauce: If you’re not a fan of pizza sauce, you can substitute it with another sauce that you prefer, such as marinara sauce, pesto for the jar, or even salsa.

Is This Cabbage Pizza Keto Friendly?
Yes, this cabbage pizza can be considered keto-friendly as it is a low-carb recipe that contains only 8 grams of carbohydrates per serving, which is 3/4 of the pizza. This is because the pizza crust is made from shredded cabbage instead of traditional pizza dough, which is typically high in carbohydrates.
Additionally, the recipe contains high protein and fat ingredients such as eggs, cheese, and butter, which are also common staples in a keto diet.
However, it’s important to note that the nutritional information may vary depending on the specific brands and amounts of ingredients used, so it’s always a good idea to double-check the nutritional content and portion sizes to ensure they fit within your daily keto macro goals.

As someone who loves pizza but not the high-carb count that comes with it, I was skeptical about low-carb cabbage pizza. But after trying it, I have to say I’m a believer! The cabbage crust adds a unique crunch and flavor that pairs perfectly with the cheesy toppings. Plus, it’s a great way to sneak in some extra veggies into my diet. I may never go back to traditional pizza crust again, maybe 🙂
Wow, this cabbage pizza recipe is a game-changer! I never thought to put cabbage on pizza before, but the combination of flavors and textures is amazing. Can’t wait to try it out!
My pizza was so tasty but I had too much cabbage in my pan. Made it difficult to flip.
The flavors were delicious and I will experiment again until I get the size of pan and the amount of cabbage correct.
Tasty cabbage dish, mine wasn’t pizza. I had to use a fork to eat it there was no picking it up. I don’t know what I did wrong since I followed the recipe exactly as stated.
I won’t be making it again but it was tasty, just not worth the struggle of flipping it. Now a scrabble of this I will do and I’ll add even more veggies.
My Dad has dementia and sometimes it’s hard to get him to eat, ..I followed all the directions except I didn’t have clarified butter. I used regular and it still turned out very good!! I added Italian seasoning to the egg mixture. As far as flipping it. I used a cookie sheet to help me and it worked!! Thanks for the healthy alternative! It was great!
I’m so glad it turned out well! I’m sure your dad appreciated it, and it’s awesome that you made it work with what you had. The Italian seasoning twist sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing your experience, and I’m really happy it helped!
