Ingredients

Scale

4 large portobello mushroom caps

1 cup marinara sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup sliced pepperoni

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Clean the portobello mushroom caps with a damp paper towel and remove the stems. Gently scrape out the gills with a spoon.

Brush both sides of the mushroom caps with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil.

Place the mushroom caps on the prepared baking sheet, gill side up. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender.

Remove the mushrooms from the oven and spread a generous layer of marinara sauce inside each cap.

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the marinara sauce.

Top with sliced pepperoni and grated Parmesan cheese.

Return the mushrooms to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
