Portobello Pizza Recipe

Here, instead of tapioca starch or almond flour, I’ve used Portobello mushrooms as the base to make miniature personal-sized pizzas that everyone at the table can customize to their liking.

While this doesn’t quite give you that crispy bite of crust at the end of every slice, this also has a significant bonus: it’s a lot faster. Unlike dough, the mushrooms don’t need any special preparation; just fill them up and slide them into the oven.

In fact, you can probably get this recipe on the table in less time than it would take for takeout to arrive. This is also a great recipe for anyone with a nut sensitivity or for people who just want to keep their carbohydrate intake on the lower side.

The directions below give you one possible set of toppings, but this is the type of recipe that just begs you to play around with it: add what you want, take away what you don’t, and change it as much as you feel like.

You could even include some cheese if dairy sits well in your stomach. Or let everyone at the table pick their own and make the meal into a family cooking night – great for getting kids involved in the kitchen, and the results are delicious!
