Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large portobello mushroom caps
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup low-sugar pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup sliced bell peppers
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Gently wipe the portobello mushroom caps clean. Remove the stems and use a spoon to scrape out the dark gills from the underside of each cap to create more space for filling.
- Brush the outside and inside of the mushroom caps lightly with olive oil. Place them gill-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- Season the inside of the caps lightly with salt and pepper.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce into the cavity of each mushroom cap. Do not overfill.
- Top the sauce evenly with mozzarella cheese.
- Distribute the pepperoni, black olives, and bell peppers over the cheese.
- Sprinkle the tops with dried oregano.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- If you prefer a meatless version, omit the pepperoni and add more vegetables or use crumbled cooked sausage.
- For extra flavor, mix 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder into the sauce before spreading it.
- You can use any low-carb toppings you enjoy, such as cooked Italian sausage or mushrooms.
