Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Portabella mushroom caps
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 16 slices Pepperoni slices
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Gently clean the portabella mushroom caps with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Use a spoon to scrape out the gills to create room for the stuffing.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over the tops and insides of the mushroom caps.
Place the mushroom caps on the prepared baking sheet, gill side up.
Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce inside each mushroom cap.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese into each mushroom cap.
Top each mushroom with 4 slices of pepperoni, or your preferred pizza toppings.
Sprinkle a light layer of grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each stuffed mushroom.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the mushrooms are tender.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 3-5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, before serving.
