HOW TO MAKE PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS PIZZA – KETO RECIPE

You only need five simple ingredients to whip up these keto stuffed Portobello mushrooms:

  • Portobello mushroom caps
  • Olive oil
  • Pizza sauce
  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Pepperoni

You’ll start by taking the large portabella mushroom caps and rinsing them off to remove any dirt. Pat them dry and then remove the stems and gills. The gills are the thin flaps under the mushroom cap that almost resemble a filing folder full of papers.

While on smaller mushrooms you can leave the gills on, on larger mushrooms they have a stronger, earthier taste – and they get in the way of stuffing. On Portobello caps, it’s best to remove them. You can see in the photo below what it looks like on one with everything still on it versus once the stem and gills are removed.

Once you’ve removed them, drizzle a little olive oil on the caps and put them on a baking sheet with the empty cap side up.

Fill each cap with a little pizza sauce. You don’t want to overfill the caps, or the pizza sauce will escape during baking – as I’ve learned many times, haha. It’s not a big deal because it still tastes great, but just makes for a messier clean up.

Then sprinkle on your mozzarella and pepperoni, and it’s ready to go in the oven. Bake ‘em for about 10-15 minutes and they’re ready to enjoy.

NUTRITION INFORMATION FOR KETO STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Though that sounds a little high as far as the percentage of carbohydrate, it’s still fine to include on a keto diet since the total net carbs are still in line with most people’s needs. (For reference, most people stick to around 50 grams or less of total carbs, and around 20-30 grams or less of net carbs per day.)
