Portobello Mushroom Pizzas
Make easy and healthy pizza in a portobello mushroom cap! We use tomatoes, olives, and basil as the toppings but you can follow our exact recipe or add your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
- 4 Portobello mushroom caps
- 2 teaspoons Extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic cloves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ⅓ cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 4-5 Cherry tomatoes
- 1-2 tablespoons Sliced black olives
- Fresh basil leaves
- Red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 F and lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Clean the mushrooms by wiping them off with a damp paper towel, don't run them under water as they easily absorb liquid. Remove the stems.
- Place the mushrooms on a baking sheet, grill side up.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, Italian seasoning, and minced garlic.
- Brush the olive oil mix on the inside of each portobello mushroom. Add the pizza sauce on the inside of each mushroom cap. Sprinkle on the mozzarella cheese, then top them with sliced cherry tomatoes, and sliced black olives.
- Bake the mushroom pizzas for 10-12+ minutes in the oven until the mushrooms soften and the cheese melts. Sprinkle with shredded fresh basil and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- If you're a meat lover, add your favorite meat toppings; turkey pepperoni, Italian sausage, or ham are just a couple of options.
- For a golden cheesy topping, turn the boiler on for 1-2 minutes. Keeping a close eye on the pizzas so they don't burn too quickly.
- Mushroom cap pizzas are pretty light! Allow enough for each person to eat two or add a hearty salad or antipasto on the side.
