LOW CARB PIZZA WITH PORTABELLA MUSHROOM CRUST!
Feels like you're cheating and actually eating pizza! A must try and soooo simple too. Please if possible use pizza sauce made by L. E. Roselli's. It's their Low Carb Pizza Sauce and only has 2 carbs for 1/4 cup!! It's the best sauce I've found. I buy it by the case and one jar is enough to do 4 BIG Portabella Pizzas. They are located in N.J. but I get it at my local Low Carb store here in Florida. Get the sauce!! It makes the pizza. Serve with a nice big green salad.

Tips:
- Choose the right type of mushrooms. Portobello mushrooms are the best choice for this recipe because they are large and have a meaty texture. Cremini mushrooms or shiitake mushrooms can also be used.
- Make sure the mushrooms are dry. If the mushrooms are wet, they will not crisp up in the oven. Pat the mushrooms dry with a paper towel before using them.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the mushrooms. This will help to create even slices that will cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. If the mushrooms are too close together, they will not cook evenly. Leave some space between each mushroom.
- Bake the mushrooms until they are crispy. The mushrooms should be cooked until they are golden brown and slightly charred around the edges. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
- Top the mushrooms with your favorite toppings. Once the mushrooms are cooked, you can top them with any of your favorite pizza toppings. Some popular options include cheese, sauce, pepperoni, and vegetables.
- Bake the pizza until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Once you have topped the mushrooms, bake the pizza until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
