Keto Portobello Mushroom Pizzas (Easy Sheet Pan Meal)
Love creative ways to serve low-carb pizza?
Consider using portobello mushrooms as a simple, genius, and tasty way to prepare keto individual pizzas for the family! This is a very easy and unique meal idea I think you’ll really enjoy, especially if you’re ready to try something in addition to yummy cauliflower pizza or fathead dough.
If you’re a fan of roasted mushrooms, this should be appealing, as the result is a juicy seasoned mushroom with melted cheese and pepperoni – so yum!
Grab some mushrooms and let’s make some pizzas!
You can most definitely choose any keto friendly toppings desired. Today I’m using pesto as a sauce, mozzarella cheese, and mini pepperonis as they are so cute and work perfectly for this idea. Tomato sauce would definitely work, too, but the pesto has so much delicious flavor!
The prep work is easy for the mushrooms! Simply wipe them with a paper towel first, since rinsing in water may make them watery. Then gently scrape away the gills inside and the stem. I used a grapefruit spoon, and it was simple to do.
You’ll appreciate this simple process!
After the mushrooms are prepped, place them on a large sheet pan and oil and season them. Bake the portobellos first by themselves, add the toppings, then return them to the oven to melt, and that’s it. I love easy dinner solutions, and this one won’t disappoint!
