Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large portabella mushroom caps
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Marinara sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 20 pieces Pepperoni slices (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 4 pieces Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and use a small spoon to scrape out the gills if desired.
Brush the mushroom caps with olive oil on both sides and sprinkle them with salt and black pepper. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, gill side up.
Bake the mushroom caps in the preheated oven for 8 minutes to release some moisture. Remove them from the oven and carefully pat them dry with a paper towel if needed.
Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce inside each mushroom cap, covering the surface evenly.
Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each mushroom cap. Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
If desired, add 4-5 slices of pepperoni or your favorite toppings to each mushroom cap. Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning over the top.
Return the mushroom pizzas to the oven and bake for an additional 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the portabella pizzas from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful, healthy portabella pizzas!
