These Whole30 Pizza Potato Skins are crispy, flavorful, and so fun! They will satisfy all your pizza cravings in a healthy way. This is a great option for when you're craving pizza on Whole30!
Ingredients
- 6 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tbsp ghee, or grass fed butter
- ½ pound ground beef
- ¼ cup diced onion
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 12 pepperoni, see note
- ¼ cup Whole30 pizza sauce
- basil, for garnish
- Whole30 ranch, for garnish
- green onion, for garnish
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a microwave safe dish, microwave potatoes for 7 to 8 minutes or until fork tender. Remove potatoes from microwave with an oven mitt. They are very hot!
- While potatoes are microwaving, make pizza filling. Add ground beef to a skillet over medium heat. Cook until brown and crumbly, breaking up with a spatula.
- Once cooked, drain off excess grease. Add in diced onion, minced garlic, pepperoni and pizza sauce. Stir. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until onions are tender.
- Carefully slice each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out insides of potato, leaving about ½ inch of filling around the edges.
- In a small microwave dish, melt ghee. Brush melted ghee on the inside and edges of each potato.
- Scoop pizza filling into each potato. Place potatoes on parchment lined pan.
- Bake for 7 to 8 minutes or until potato skins are crispy.
- Finally, remove from oven and garnish with desired toppings.
Notes
- Select large potatoes that are similar in size. Russet potatoes tend to work best since their skin holds up.
- Ghee or grass fed butter both work well. For a dairy free option, substitute olive oil.
- For a Whole30 pepperoni option, I use cut up Chomps Pepperoni sticks.
- Be very careful with handling potatoes. They are very hot after they've been microwaved.
- When scooping out the potato, leave about ½ inch of potato filling around the skin.
- Bake until skins are crispy. Keep a close eye on them while baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
