Description

These Low-Carb Portobello Pizzas offer a delicious, healthy alternative to traditional pizza by using large portobello mushrooms as the base. Topped with savory pizza sauce, melted mozzarella, fresh cherry tomatoes, and Italian-seasoned garlic olive oil, they are quick to prepare and perfect for a light meal or snack.


Ingredients

Portobello Pizzas

  • 4 portobello mushrooms, gills and stems removed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for coating baking sheet
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ cup pizza sauce
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4-6 cherry tomatoes, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, pressed


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil to prevent sticking and help with roasting the mushrooms evenly.
  2. Prepare Olive Oil Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, Italian seasoning, and the pressed garlic cloves. This mixture will infuse the mushrooms with robust flavor.
  3. Coat Mushrooms: Spread the olive oil mixture evenly over the cleaned portobello mushrooms, ensuring full coverage for optimal taste and moisture retention during baking.
  4. Add Toppings: Spoon ¼ cup of pizza sauce over each mushroom cap, followed by a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese. Top with the sliced cherry tomatoes for a fresh burst of flavor and color.
  5. Bake: Place the prepared mushrooms on the oiled baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Bake until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese has melted and browned slightly.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and enjoy these low-carb portobello pizzas immediately while hot and melty for the best taste experience.
