Pepperoni Roasted Tomato Pizza Bites

These are not the prettiest of things but boy are they tasty! Lately I’ve been trying to find more and more low carb snacks and treats. I was really in the mood for some pizza so I tried to think of how I could make a low carb snack that would have the same flavors. I started by sautéing a handful of grape tomatoes in olive oil and pizza spices. They were tasty on their own. Then I thought about making pepperoni cups just like all those bacon cups you see on Pinterest. Add a little cheese and you have Pizza bites.

To make the pepperoni cups I used a mini muffin pan. I could have put them in a bigger muffin pan but the size of pepperoni that I had was too little to make a cup. So deepening on the size of the pepperoni, it would determine what size of muffin pan you will use. You bake these until they are crispy but not burnt. I put a little bit of cheese on the bottom of mine because the slices were very thin and I didn’t want anything to leak out.

Pictured above you can see what they look like out of the oven. While those are cooking, start sautéing your tomatoes with olive oil, basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Once they get soft and deflated, they are done. Tomatoes like this are so sweet and tasty. If you like sun dried tomatoes you will love these.

Next you take a tomato or two and put them in the pepperoni cups. Top them with some shredded mozzarella and put them under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is melted. And that is all there is to it. Like I said earlier, they aren’t the prettiest of things but they sure are tasty! Enjoy!

They make for an easy and delicious appetizer too!The Paleo diet does not include dairy products and I do in many of my recipes. I tend to follow a modified Paleo / Primal /Low Carb diet and use the principles of all three. Dairy is a high protein food group with plenty of nutrition that I feel is valuable in our families’ diet not to mention that it tastes great. Here is an interesting article  about full fat dairy products from Mark Sisson who started the whole Primal movement. So if you can not tolerate dairy products or you are a strict Paleo enthusiast, my apologies. Going forward I will be more cautious with how I label my recipes.

    This is not a Palo snack. Paleo contains no dairy, also, it can’t be any pepperoni, must be nitriite and preservative free…… definitely not Hormel. Applegate has pork and turkey pepperoni .

      Hi Shanna, you are right, the Paleo diet does not include dairy products and I do in many of my recipes.

      So for those who are strict Paleo enthusiasts, my apologies. Going forward I am trying to be more cautious with how I label my recipes but for some older posts such as this it is hard to change graphics that have been shared many times on Pinterest.

      Thank you for your comment. I always appreciate hearing others opinions and learning from them. Take care and thanks for stopping by.

    That’s a really great idea. Looks good too. What’s a good substitute for the pepperoni – it’s hard to get non-pork ones so I’m wondering if you can suggest an alternative that would give the same effect.

      Hormel has a product and perhaps your local deli or larger grocery might carry one. Here is a link to the Hormel product if you are interested.

    These are so up my alley! I love pizza and I really love cheese! It’s so weird that this can be part of a diet! I am launching a new link party tomorrow with Refresh Living starting at 7pm CST. We would love to have you come and link up with us!

    Thank you!

    Roasted tomatoes are the best! I never thought to top them with pepperoni, but guess what I am craving now. And I just bought some tomatoes to roast too!
