Description

These Keto Stuffed Mushrooms are a delicious, low-carb appetizer perfect for keto dieters or anyone craving a savory, cheesy treat. Loaded with keto pizza sauce, olives, pepperoni, and a blend of melted mozzarella and cheddar cheese, these baked mushrooms deliver bold flavors and satisfying textures in every bite.


Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms

  • 8 medium portobello mushrooms
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil

Filling

  • 1 cup keto pizza sauce
  • 1/4 cup black olives, sliced
  • 1/4 cup pepperoni, chopped

Topping

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix of both)
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
  2. Prepare the Mushrooms: Remove the stems from the mushrooms, wash them thoroughly, and pat dry with paper towels. Lightly rub olive oil over the exterior of each mushroom to enhance flavor and prevent sticking. Place mushrooms cap-side down on the lined baking sheet.
  3. Add the Filling: Spoon keto pizza sauce evenly into each mushroom cap. Top with sliced black olives and chopped pepperoni, taking care not to overfill.
  4. Bake the Mushrooms: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes to allow the mushrooms to tenderize and the flavors to meld.
  5. Add the Cheese: Remove the mushrooms from the oven and evenly distribute the shredded cheese over the top of each mushroom. Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the cheese for extra seasoning.
  6. Melt the Cheese: Return the mushrooms to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven and serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use a mix of mozzarella and cheddar for a richer flavor.
  • Substitute pepperoni with cooked sausage or bacon if desired.
  • Ensure mushrooms are dry before oiling for better roasting.
  • For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the filling.
  • These mushrooms can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving.
