    How to Make Portobello Mushroom Keto Pizza

    Preheat your oven to 375F

    You'll want to clean mushrooms by brushing over them gently with a slightly damp paper towel, remove the stems and scrape out the gills. 

    Place the mushroom caps top side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  Brush the tops with olive oil, then put them in your preheated oven to bake for 5 minutes.

    Don't over bake them because want the to still be slightly firm. When they have finished baking, remove them from the oven. Increase the temp of your oven to 425F. 

    Flip the mushroom caps over and soak up any liquid with paper towels.

    Now comes the fun part! To the mushroom caps, add some marinara sauce, part of the mozzarella cheese, sausage, pepperoni and top with the remaining cheese.

    Place them back in the oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and golden.  If the cheese isn’t melted enough, bake for another 2 minutes on the top rack of your oven.

    Allow to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with a little sweet basil and enjoy!

    Tips for Keeping Portobello Mushrooms Fresh

    • As soon as you get you get Portobello mushrooms home, take them out of the plastic container and put them in a paper bag or you can lay them out flat on paper towels. Moisture is not a mushroom's friend so this will allow them to dry out some.
    • Once you've dried them out, put the bag or paper towels in the fridge. They'll keep longer if they are stored chilled.
    • Don't store mushrooms in any type air tight bag or container because condensation will build up and they will go bad quickly.
    • Don't clean them until right before you're ready to use them. Using a slightly damp paper towel, gently clean each mushroom. A lot of opinions are you should never wash mushrooms. The reason why is because mushrooms act like sponges and will soak up the water, rendering soggy and mushy cooked mushrooms. However, if you have stubborn debris, you can quickly run that spot under the water.
    • Before using them, look for any that have become slimy and discard them. Sometimes if they've been in the container that's been wrapped in plastic at the store, the ones on the bottom will start to go bad sooner.

    Are Mushrooms Keto?

    Yes indeed! They are low carb and full of nutrients. They are a good source of protein, fiber, vitamin C, folate, iron, zinc as well as a great source of vitamin B6, vitamin D, thiamin, riboflavin, potassium, copper, and selenium.

    What are the Carbs in Portobello?

    There're approximately 3.5 grams of carbs per serving! They're so hearty and filling and they perfect for a meat replacement!
