ingredients you need

This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for Pizza Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms, the role of each ingredient in the recipe, and substitution options. See recipe card below for measurements.

• olive oil spray – Use the spray to spread a thin layer of olive oil evenly on the baking sheet and mushrooms. If you don’t have it, you can drizzle or brush with olive oil instead.
• Portobello Mushrooms – Opt for larger portobello mushroom caps, which are more concave and have higher sides and are best for toppings.
• Sauce – I used marinara sauce here, but pizza sauce is also a good option.buy store bought (I am looking for a version with no added sugar like this), or make your own sugar free marinara sauce or Keto Pizza Sauce.
• mozzarella cheese – Use chopped or chop your own for convenience. Fresh mozzarella is also good, but will release more moisture.
• pepperoni – I love the classic pepperoni pizza, but you can also try some of the other toppings below.

How to Make Portobello Pizza

This section shows how to make a portobello pizza with step-by-step photos and details about the technique. See the recipe card below for full instructions.

1. Prepare. Preheat oven. Coat a baking sheet with olive oil spray. Use a spoon to scrape the gills of the mushrooms.

Tip: If you like, you can precook the mushrooms in the oven first.

Doing this helps remove excess moisture before adding the ingredients, but I often skip this step to reduce the workload. If you bake them first, drain, then add toppings and bake again. If you skip this step, know that they release a lot of water, but you can drain the excess liquid from the pot later.

2. season. Place mushrooms (stem side up) on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
3. gather. Top each mushroom with sauce, cheese, and pepperoni.

3. bake. Place in the oven until the cheese is bubbling and the mushrooms are tender. You can top with grated Parmesan cheese at the end if you like.
