Ingredients
Scale
Stuffed Mushrooms
- 8 medium portobello mushrooms
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup keto pizza sauce
- 1/4 cup black olives, sliced
- 1/4 cup pepperoni, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix of both)
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Remove the stems from the mushrooms, then wash them thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels. Lightly rub olive oil over the exterior of each mushroom for added flavor and texture. Place the mushrooms head-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Add the Filling: Spoon keto pizza sauce into each mushroom cap, ensuring an even distribution. Follow with the sliced black olives and chopped pepperoni. Carefully fill each mushroom cap without overstuffing.
- Bake the Mushrooms: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the mushrooms for 15 minutes. This step allows the flavors to meld and the mushrooms to tenderize.
- Add the Cheese: Remove the mushrooms from the oven and evenly distribute the shredded cheese across the tops of the mushrooms. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning over the cheese for an extra burst of flavor.
- Melt the Cheese: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese has fully melted and becomes bubbly.
- Serve: Once baked, remove the mushrooms from the oven and serve them immediately. These cheesy, flavorful mushrooms are best enjoyed warm!
Notes
- Use a mix of mozzarella and cheddar cheese for richer flavor.
- Make sure not to overfill the mushroom caps to prevent spills during baking.
- For a spicier kick, add some chili flakes or chopped jalapeño to the filling.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving to melt the cheese again.
