Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Portabella mushroom caps
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Pizza sauce
- 1 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Gently clean the portabella mushroom caps with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Use a spoon to carefully scrape out the gills if desired.
Brush both sides of the mushroom caps with olive oil and season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Place the mushroom caps, stem side up, on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to slightly soften the mushrooms and release excess moisture. Remove from the oven and carefully pat them dry with a paper towel.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce onto each mushroom cap, followed by a generous sprinkling of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Top each mushroom cap with 3 slices of pepperoni or your preferred toppings.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-carb pizza!
