Ingredients
  

For the Pizza Base
  • 4 large portobello mushrooms
  • 1 cup marinara sauce store-bought or homemade
Toppings
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese adjust to preference
  • 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers mix and match colors
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives optional
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning add more if desired
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for drizzling

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Clean the portobello mushrooms with a damp paper towel, remove the stems, and scrape the gills with a spoon if preferred.
  3. Drizzle olive oil on the tops and bottoms of the mushrooms, then sprinkle salt and pepper.
Assembly
  1. Place the mushrooms on a baking sheet with gills up. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce on each mushroom.
  2. Add a generous handful of shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by bell peppers, olives, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  2. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with Parmesan, and let them cool slightly.
  3. Optionally, add a fresh basil leaf on top before serving.

Notes
