Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Portobello mushroom caps
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cups Pizza sauce
- 1 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 12 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 4 pieces Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Clean the portobello mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel and removing the stems. Use a small spoon to scrape out the gills if desired.
Brush both sides of the mushroom caps with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Place the mushroom caps, gill-side up, on the prepared baking sheet.
Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over the inside of each mushroom cap.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce, dividing it equally among the four mushroom caps.
Add 3 slices of pepperoni to each pizza or customize with your favorite toppings.
Sprinkle minced garlic evenly over the pizzas for extra flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the mushrooms are tender.
Remove the portobello pizzas from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves and a pinch of red chili flakes, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, low-carb Portobello Pizzas!
