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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Place the mushroom caps on the prepared baking sheet, gill side up.

Step 5

Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce inside each mushroom cap.

Step 6

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese into each mushroom cap.

Step 7

Top each mushroom with 4 slices of pepperoni, or your preferred pizza toppings.

Step 8

Sprinkle a light layer of grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each stuffed mushroom.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the mushrooms are tender.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 3-5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, before serving.
