I have a fun summer appetizer idea to share with you today from Atkins. It’s a pizza with all the flavor, but minus the carbs.
The meaty taste of portobello mushrooms makes you forget about the crust. This recipe is for one, but you can add to it to make as many as you like. You can also top your portobello pizzas with sausage, bacon, olives, herbs, veggies, etc. to taste. Serve them as appetizers, or make it a full meal by adding a side salad.
Portobello Mushroom Pizza
Ingredients:
- 1 portobello mushroom (about 3 ounces), stem removed, wiped clean with a damp paper towel
- Garlic oil spray
- 1 tablespoon low-carb tomato sauce (such as Raos)
- 2 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions:
- Heat oven to 425 F. Spray both sides with garlic oil and place on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Bake 30 minutes, or until fork tender, turning once halfway through cooking time. Increase heat to broil.
- Top concave side of mushroom with tomato sauce and cheese. Place under broiler for 1 minute or until cheese melts and bubbles.
