    Bell Pepper Pizza Bites Recipe

    Sure, you can put roasted bell peppers on a pizza. But why not make the bell peppers the bottom instead – get the edges just charred enough to give you a nice crunch and fill them up with tomato sauce and all your favorite toppings.

    Bell Pepper Pizza Bites

    If you tolerate dairy well, you could just use mozzarella cheese on top of these. Otherwise, go for almond cheese, or just leave the whole cheese question to the side and make the peppers with a different selection of toppings. There’s nothing really “wrong” here; go for whatever combination you like.

    As for the pizza sauce: if you can find a Paleo-friendly one in the grocery store, great! Otherwise, use your favorite recipe to DIY; it’s not hard at all, especially if you “cheat” a little with canned tomatoes.

    Kids would love these as a snack, but they’d also make a surprisingly good vegetable side for a meal. Look down the ingredients list: unless you want to get really pedantic about tomatoes technically being a fruit, each of these bites is basically a variety of different vegetables stuffed inside another vegetable and roasted.

    What about some kind of protein (roast chicken, baked fish…) with a few of these on the side? Not exactly conventional, but it might be nice for people who don’t like a huge pile of salad greens or roasted anything on their plate.
