…Because I haven’t shared nearly enough football-party recipes this season! Last weekend, I was craving pizza something fierce. It wasn’t a weekend day, so I told myself I couldn’t do anything about said pizza craving. Truth be told, I think it was a Tuesday night – too early in the week for me to cave in just yet.
Jason suggested a low-carb pizza. I’ve attempted several low-carb crusts, but just wasn’t in the mood to experiment after working all day. I thought about making Stuffed Bell Pepper Pizzas, except I was jonesing for Hawaiian Pizza – that’s pretty much the one pizza specialty both Jason and I can agree on, so I sent him the store to get prosciutto, and pineapple. I love subbing proscuitto in for ham on Hawaiian Pizza, it costs a little more, but it tastes so indulgent, and kind of fancy at home. I also like to add black olives to our pizza – we pretty much always have a jar of Lindsay Olives in the pantry. At the time, we had a can of ripe black, pitted olives on hand. Their sliced black olives would have saved me a step, but it’s not like it’s hard to slice a few whole olives, right? Join Club Lindsay to get a $1-off coupon, now.
These Hawaiian Pizza Bell Peppers are perfect for this coming weekend as we all sit around figuring out who is making their way to the Big Game – I only mildly care to be honest, I’m more excited about the food. As if you didn’t know this about me.
- 3 bell peppers, halved and hollowed (seeds removed)
- 1/3 cup pizza sauce
- 1/4 tsp Garlic powder
- 6 slices of thin prosciutto
- 4 tbsp sliced black olives
- 4-5 chunks of pineapple, chopped in half
- 2 oz Mozzarella cheese (or any other cheese will do)
- Italian seasoning, to garnish (optional)
- Preheat oven to 350F
- To a baking sheet, lay pepper halves on face up. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of sauce into each pepper and top with a pinch of garlic.
- Top with cheese, prosciutto, and pineapple. Top with 4-5 olive slices, and add a little extra cheese at the end.
- Bake 9-11 minutes or until peppers are tender and toppings are hot and bubbly, and cheese is melted.
- Garnish with Italian seasoning, if desired.
Bake up a batch of your favorite Pizza Stuffed Peppers, use your favorite toppings (see where to find your Lindsay Olives, here)
I’m going to have to try these! Hawaiin pizza is my favorite. I love salty and sweet (really I mostly love sweet!) together and pineapple is perfect for that. Black olives though, some days I love them and others I can’t handle them. We’ll see how I feel when I make them 🙂
