How to Make Low Carb Portabella Pizzas

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Clean the portabella mushrooms thoroughly with a damp cloth or brush, removing any excess dirt or debris.
Remove the stems from the portabella mushrooms and gently scrape out the gills with a spoon.
Drizzle the mushroom caps with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
Spread a thin layer of pesto (about 1 tablespoon per mushroom) over each cap.
Distribute your favorite pizza toppings evenly over the pesto layer. Suggestions include: shredded mozzarella cheese (1/2 cup total), sliced pepperoni (2-3 slices per mushroom), chopped bell peppers (1/4 cup total), and fresh basil leaves.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the prepared mushroom caps for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until tender and slightly charred. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn.
Remove from oven or grill and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra fresh basil or parmesan cheese, if desired.
