Portobello Pizzas

Portobello pizzas are a low-carb answer to the comfort food classic. They are easy to prepare, a cinch to bake, and leave you feeling full and satisfied! by @heathersdish

The other night I posted on Instagram a super simple dinner that y’all went wild for! In a matter of hours I had emails and requests for the recipe, which is awesome because it’s definitely one I wasn’t thinking of posting. Luckily I had leftovers (!!!) I could photograph so that I could share!

 

As a quick backstory we are in the process of healthifying (totally a word) our life a little more now that we’re coming out of the initial shell shock of having a new baby in the house. My criteria for food these days is that I need to be able to prep it ahead of time so that I can just pop it in the oven/on the stove/grill at the end of the day. Anyone with kids (heck, even people without kids) knows that the end of the day is the witching hour where everyone is tired, hungry, cranky, and otherwise difficult to deal with. I also fall in that category. So being able to do a no-fuss dinner is HUGE.

 

The problem with a lot of the no-fuss dinners I was making up til the past two weeks is that they were delicious but also really heavy. I love me some rich food, but going into the summer and trying to fit into my old clothes a little better doesn’t mesh so well with really heavy fare. That’s where these mushrooms fit in really well. They take about 5 minutes to prep even in the middle of witching hour, and if you couple them with another roasted vegetable it can all cook at the same time. These would also be really great with a big salad, fresh fruit, pasta – you name it!

 

Just a couple of things on exactly how I made mine:

  1. I used turkey pepperoni. You can use whatever you like, or even just leave them with plain cheese. Chopped veggies would be great – really, whatever you like on your pizza works here too! You need probably about 1 tablespoon of whatever chopped ingredients you like per mushroom cap.
  2. I left the gills in our mushrooms and only removed the stems. I liked the texture and extra meatiness, but if you’re not a fan of leaving the gills in then by all means remove them. No biggie.
  3. It’s not part of the recipe, but I took two bunches of asparagus and trimmed the ends. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt/pepper/garlic powder, and spread on a really big sheet pan. Roast them on a separate rack than the mushrooms (underneath if possible) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the sheet pan halfway through.
  4. I used jarred marinara. I highly recommend my favorite homemade marinara recipe, but I just didn’t have any on hand so I used our favorite jarred version.
  5. I also used sliced mozzarella rather than shredded; it’s what we had on hand and I liked that I could blanket the mushroom cap without being too heavy handed with the cheesy goodness.
  6. You could double or triple this “recipe”, or scale it down…that’s the beauty of it!

 

PORTOBELLO PIZZAS

Makes 4 servings

 

Ingredients:

  • 4 large fresh portobello mushrooms, wiped clean and stems removed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce of choice
  • 4 slices of mozzarella cheese (about 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella if using)
  • toppings of choice: pepperoni, cooked/crumbled sausage, chopped veggies, pineapple, ham, extra cheese, etc.

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425.
  2. Line a baking sheet with foil (easy clean-up) and place the cleaned portobellos gill side up.
  3. Drizzle evenly with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper.
  4. Bake at 425 for 5-7 minutes.
  5. Remove from the oven and fill each mushroom cap with 2 tablespoons of the sauce, top with a slice (or 2 tablespoons) of mozzarella, and sprinkle evenly with desired toppings.
  6. Return to the oven and bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and melty.
  7. If you need to, turn on the broiler for about 1-2 minutes to get the top all golden and good.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the pizzas sit for about 3-5 minutes to cool slightly before devouring!
  9. Enjoy!

    Heather, these sound wonderful! I can’t wait to try this recipe. I’m on the iPad and can’t see the two previous comments that are supposedly there, so forgive me if someone already asked, but is that half a teaspoon of dried or fresh oregano?

    Looks like you used basil to brighten up your photo; I may try a sprig of that, too. šŸ™‚ Thanks for this great idea!

      Hey Suzy! Sorry about the comment thing…I’m working through a glitch in my site which is why it’s not showing up!

      It’s a half teaspoon of dried oregano! I’ve actually never worked with fresh, but if that’s what you have I’ve heard you just halve the amount (so 1/4 tsp of fresh oregano).

Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smo Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smoothie has 40 grams of protein, lots of green goodness and tastes like a pineapple-vanilla dream!

- 1 cup water
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- 1 cup frozen kale or spinach

šŸ„— FAST FOOD! Real real: I hate when people are šŸ„— FAST FOOD!

Real real: I hate when people are all, ā€œyou can cook food in the same time it takes to grab takeout.ā€ That is not always true, and sometimes it’s just about not wanting to try. Effort is hard, amen?!

Today I’m thankful to have had the energy and want-to to cook something a little healthier and save a little money. That’s not always the case, but today it was and I’ll count it as a win!

In the bowl: 3/4 cup black beans, 1/4 cup corn, 2 big handfuls of spinach, and two eggs. Seasoned it all with salt, pepper, garlic and smoked paprika!

Any wins y’all feel like sharing today? Let’s hear it and celebrate!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thi Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thing I’ve been eating on repeat all week):

- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (optional)*
- 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
- 1 serving unflavored collagen peptides
- Sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

Heat the oats, water, milk and coffee in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened to your liking (although keep in kind the flax seeds and cooling will thicken it even further). Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips; I like to use a whisk to make sure the collagen doesn’t clump. Pour in a bowl, sprinkle with the chocolate chips and enjoy!

*I love to add a little coffee to mine to help enhance the chocolate flavor, but you do you!

Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but thought it was worth sharing here too. When it comes to how I plan out meals, I look for 3 things:

šŸ„—Whole foods. Not like the store (that’s called Whole Paycheck, right?), but meaning foods that haven’t been minimally processed. Fresh veggies, lean protein sources, whole grains, etc. I do have a few processed things on hand (protein bars) just in case I’m in a place where I need something SUPER quick, but that’s it. 

šŸ„—High fiber. There are so many reasons we should be getting in plenty of fiber (Google is your friend here guys), but if I’m being honest I just feel better when I’m getting plenty of it. Leaner, more regular, more satiated. The list goes on! Besides the obvious fresh produce, I also eat plenty of legumes, whole grains (rolled oats, farro, quinoa - even though it’s a seed), flax and chia seeds.

šŸ„—Hit my protein goals. Again, an essential nutrient. I have composition goals, and for my muscles to recover from my hard workouts I have to make sure I’m getting in enough protein. For me this means chicken, fish, and the occasional beef or pork.

Wondering - would y’all be interested in how I do my meal planning and shopping trips?  If so just drop your favorite emoji below!
It’s Friday, which means a myriad of things:

1ļøāƒ£Weekend vibes! Think soccer games, yard work, church, family time. Love it!
2ļøāƒ£The end of my meal prep. Not gonna lie, I won’t make this stew again...although the couscous was a fun addition!
3ļøāƒ£Sleeping in. HALLELUJAH.
4ļøāƒ£A chance to set up next week to be a great one!

It’s going to be a fabulous weekend y’all. What are you up to?!
#brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick #brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick myself for not showing y’all how orange these yolks were. šŸ³ Eggs are one of the foods I spend a little more on because the flavor and nutrient density are worth it!
