Portobello Pizzas

INGREDIENTS:

6 Large Portobello Mushroom Caps

1 jar Marinara sauce

Italian Seasoning (optional)

1 8oz Package Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Chopped Fresh Basil

Pizza Toppings of Choice

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper (rimmed is important because the mushrooms release juices during cooking)

2. Prepare mushroom caps by removing/discarding stems, rinsing and patting dry (paper towels or a dark towel recommended because the mushrooms can stain light towels)

3. Place mushroom caps gill side up on baking sheet and spoon on a thin layer of marinara sauce onto each cap. Spread sauce with back of spoon. Sprinkle with Italian Seasoning for added flavor (optional).

4. Sprinkle toppings evenly across mushroom caps. Cover each mushroom with a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese. Garnish with fresh basil.

5. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until cheese is melted and beginning to brown, and mushrooms are tender when pierced with a fork.

6. Serve with a side salad and enjoy!
