Mini Pepperoni Paleo Pizza Sliders Recipe
Indulging in pizza doesn’t have to equal cheese, wheat, and processed meat.
This healthier and gluten free version of pepperoni pizza sliders replaces non-paleo ingredients with succulent veggies, rich herbs, a low-carb almond crust, and our 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks as pepperoni.
In swapping out wheat flour for almond flour in these mini crusts, you can also indulge knowing you aren’t in for a blood sugar spike and crash.
Add in nutrient-rich butternut squash to sub for cheese, plus 100% grass fed beef that came from healthy, happy cows and contains no artificial hormones, and you have a meal you can repeat as many nights of the week your pizza-loving heart desires.

Prep time: 20 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Serves: 3-6
Ingredients
Mini Pizza Crusts
- 2 1/4 cups blanched almond flour
- 2 Tbsp coconut flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 3 tsp dried Italian herbs
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 3 large eggs
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
Toppings
- 1 cup sliced butternut squash
- 2 thinly sliced Paleovalley 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks (this is your “pepperoni”)
- 1 cup thinly sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup gluten-free, organic pizza sauce
- Chopped fresh basil, divided
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Cutting board and knife
- Baking pan and sheet
- Dough roller (optional)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add all of your dry ingredients to your large mixing bowl and combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk your eggs and oil until a frothy mixture develops.
- Now combine the wet and dry ingredients until your dough forms.
- Now shape a small piece of dough (you should have enough dough for roughly 6 mini crusts) into a ball and either shape and flatten it into a small crust with your hands, or place another piece of parchment paper on top of your dough ball and roll it flat with your dough roller.
- Repeat until all of your crusts are formed.
- Bake the crusts for 15-20 minutes until they darken slightly.
- While the crust is baking, thinly slice your butternut squash into small squares.
- Chop your mushrooms, and thinly slice your Beef Sticks.
- When your crusts are done, remove them from the oven and top with your pizza sauce, then layer on your veggies, starting with your sliced butternut squash.
- Sprinkle half of your fresh basil on top, then bake for another 10 to 15 minutes.
