Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms
These personalized Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms make a fun appetizer, side dish, or main course for any occasion! You only need a few simple ingredients and less than 30 minutes to prepare this recipe.
Ingredients
- 4 portobello mushrooms cleaned with stems and gills removed
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup pizza sauce (Rao's sugar free)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup pepperoni slices
- ¼ cup fresh chopped basil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees and line or grease a large baking sheet. Place the cleaned and prepped mushrooms top-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the mushrooms with the avocado oil.
- In a small bowl, stir together the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Sprinkle the seasoning over the mushrooms evenly.
- Fill each mushroom with ¼ cup of pizza sauce, then top with ¼ cup cheese. Arrange the pepperoni slices on top of the cheese.
- Place the mushrooms in the oven for 12-14 minutes, until the mushrooms are softened and the cheese is melted through.
- Garnish with basil, then serve!
Notes
- I used the “cup and crisp” pepperoni slices which is why they turned into little pepperoni cups in the oven.
- Leftovers store great in the fridge for up to 3 days but I don’t recommend freezing these.
- The mushrooms, although really big, are still fragile around the edges. So when you’re cleaning and preparing them, be careful not to break them too much or the sauce will run out of them during baking.
- Feel free to broil the last minute or two to brown the cheese.
