Portobello Mushroom Pizzettas

I saw some beautiful portobello mushrooms at Trader Joe's and instantly thought they would make tasty pizzas or pizzettas. My kids were very excited to make their own creations. It was extremely easy to make and loads of fun for my kids. We all chose our own toppings and they were a big hit with the entire family. I baked ours in the oven but I am sure they would be really tasty grilled too.

Portobello Mushroom Pizzettas:
Recipe and photos by For the Love of Cooking
  • 5 portobello mushrooms, cleaned, stems and gills removed
  • Pizza sauce (marinara would work too)
  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Asiago cheese
  • Tomato slices
  • Turkey pepperoni
  • Pineapple
  • Black Olives
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
  • Dried oregano, to taste
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Clean the mushrooms with a wet paper towel then carefully remove the stem and gills. Spread pizza sauce inside, next comes the cheese then top with whatever toppings you choose.

Place pizzettas on a tin foil covered baking sheet that has been coated with olive oil cooking spray.

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and mushrooms are tender. Enjoy.
