Portobello Mushroom Pizza Recipe

Key Notes: Keto, Diabetic friendly, Gluten-free, Low-carb

This simple “pizza” is a really quick dinner for those nights where you’re craving something substantial but don’t want to be loaded up on carbs.

Portobello mushrooms serve as the perfect base since its meaty texture is hearty enough to carry the rest of the ingredients.

You can substitute the tomato with organic pizza/marinara sauce as well, if you prefer.

It’s important to use organic ingredients, especially the portobello mushroom caps, as mushrooms are accumulators of toxins and heavy metals, and thin skinned vegetables like tomatoes often have pesticide residue.

Make sure you don’t cook the mushrooms for too long, since it will decrease rapidly in size as it loses water content.
