Grain-Free Pizza Stir-Fry Recipe

Pizza is definitely a kid favorite, but not usually a healthy one. My kids love our alternative, Meatza, but it is messy to make and takes multiple pans. I’m a huge fan of stir-frys and decided that the toppings of pizza would make a great sti- fry. After a few tries, I finally have a recipe that I really like and that the kids seem to love. In fact, I had to make it twice to get a picture because they ate the first batch before I could photograph it!

Pizza Stir-Fry: Easy Weeknight Meal

Stir-frys of all types are one of my favorite types of meals to make. They are fast and easy to make, loaded with vegetables, and only dirty one pan. I have plenty of “normal” stir-fry recipes in regular rotation, but this pizza stir-fry is one of my more creative recipes. I promise… it really tastes like pizza!

I use Italian seasonings, Italian sausage, and uncured pepperoni and all the pizza vegetables — mushrooms, fresh spinach, black olives, onions, and bell peppers. I also toss in some diced zucchini. Feel free to use whatever combination of pizza veggies you like best.

I top each bowl with a couple spoonfuls of warmed pasta sauce or pizza sauce and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella. You could even put the (oven-safe) bowls under the broiler for a few minutes to melt the cheese.

Other Ways to Serve Pizza Stir-Fry

The Italian sausage in this stir-fry makes it a surprisingly good breakfast as well as dinner. Or make a pizza omelet by using the stir-fry as the omelet filling and topping with warmed pizza sauce and shredded mozzarella.
