Ingredients
- 4 pieces Portabella mushroom caps
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Pizza sauce
- 1 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 pieces Pepperoni slices (optional)
- 4 pieces Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Remove the stems and scrape out the gills using a spoon if desired.
Step 3
Brush both sides of the mushroom caps with olive oil, then sprinkle them with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Place the mushroom caps, gill-side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 5
Bake the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 8 minutes to allow them to soften and release excess moisture. Remove from the oven and carefully blot away any moisture with a paper towel.
Step 6
Spread 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce onto the gill side of each mushroom cap.
Step 7
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce on each mushroom.
Step 8
Top with 2 slices of pepperoni per mushroom cap if using, or add other toppings of your choice.
Step 9
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 10
Optional: Turn on the broiler for 1-2 minutes to give the cheese a golden, bubbly finish. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Step 11
Remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
Step 12
Serve immediately and enjoy your Portabella Mushroom Pizza!
