What Keto Friendly Pizza Sauce should I use?

I like a saucy pizza, so you can cut down on the amount of sauce that you use when you are making this easy crustless pizza recipe and that will also cut down on the carbs as well. No matter how much sauce you are using you are going to want to use a low carb sauce. Look for a sauce that is sugar-free, or no sugar added.

I personally prefer to use a low carb marinara sauce when making this recipe. You can use your favorite sauce, or try out one of the low carb marinara sauces that we enjoy using. You can also use homemade marinara sauce if you want to. I like to make and freeze homemade marinara sauce so I have it on hand when I want to use it.

Tips for Making this Recipe

Using small eggplants saves you from having to cook the eggplant slices before; the ingredients of the bites are all cooked simultaneously.

Wash and dry. You want the eggplant to be dried off when you put the toppings on the slices.

Read your instructions. Some air fryers will require you to use cooking spray when you are using them, others don’t so be sure to check the specific directions for yours.

What is the best Air Fryer?

There are many different air fryers out there, amongst our team of foodies our favorites are the Cuisinart Air Fryer and convection oven combo and the Ninja Foodi 9-in-One. If you don’t have either of them you can use the air fryer you have, but if you are looking to get started with cooking food in an air fryer then our suggestion is that you want to get one of those.
