PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM PIZZA (LOW CARB RECIPE)

Quick and easy portobello mushroom pizza ready in 20 minutes. It’s a vegan, gluten free, low carb and healthy alternative to regular pizza.

I fell in love with this healthy pizza instantly and remember eating TWO all by myself…lol.


Instead of a regular pizza dough, you are using portobello mushrooms for pizza crust.

Honestly, this gluten free pizza is so much better than that weird cauliflower crust pizza I tried once, which was downright awful! I can’t understand why it’s so popular.

  3. Spread pizza sauce on each mushroom.
  4. Top off with your choice of vegetables/ meats and lots of mozzarella cheese.
  5. Sprinkle some Italian seasoning on top of the pizzas.
  6. Place the tray in the middle rack of the oven and bake at broiled/grill settings for 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is slightly golden brown.

Use low fat mozzarella cheese or vegan cheese to make these even healthier.
Tastes best when served fresh.
