Mushroom Pesto Pizza

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, we wanted to share a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional Thanksgiving food. If you want to stay on track with your diet, indulge in this nutritious Mushroom Pesto Pizza! 

Ingredients:

- 1 ZC crust

- 1.3 oz your favorite pesto sauce

- 2.5 oz whole milk mozzarella cheese

- 1 oz shaved parmesan cheese

- 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms

- 8 cloves of roasted garlic 

First, grab your ZeroCarb Pizza Crust pack out of the freezer and let thaw for 5-10 minutes while the oven preheats to 450°F-500°F. Once the crusts have thawed enough to separate them, gently sliding your hand under the top piece of paper to separate the crust on top. (Don’t forget to place the remaining crusts back in the freezer.) If you desire a crispier crust, after the oven has preheated, place the bare pizza crust onto parchment paper and into the oven for approximately six minutes, or until the edges begin to crisp. Remove crust from the oven.

After removing your naked pizza crust from the oven, let cool for 3-5 minutes. Add pesto to the crust and evenly sprinkle on the mozzarella cheese. Next, top your pizza with sliced mushrooms and roasted garlic. Place your pizza back into the oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese turns golden brown. Once done, remove it from the oven and top with parmesan cheese. Let your pizza cool for 3-5 minutes and then dig in!
