Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Portobello mushroom caps
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Marinara sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Clean the Portobello mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel and removing the stems. Use a spoon to scrape out the gills if desired.
Brush both sides of each mushroom cap with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
Place the mushroom caps on the prepared baking sheet, gill side up, and bake for 8-10 minutes to release some moisture. Pat the mushrooms dry with paper towels after baking.
Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce onto the gill side of each mushroom cap.
Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each cap, followed by a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and arrange them on top of the cheese. Sprinkle each cap with Italian seasoning for added flavor.
Bake the mushroom pizzas for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and garnish each pizza with fresh basil leaves for a burst of flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious, low-carb Portobello Pizzas!
