Portobello Mushroom Pizzettas

I picked up some portobello mushrooms at Trader Joe’s and instantly thought they’d be great as mini pizzas or pizzettas. My kids were very excited to make their own creations. This portobello mushroom pizzettas recipe was easy to make and 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. These mushroom pizzas disappeared quickly and paired nicely with a simple salad and some garlic bread.

Portobello Mushroom Pizzettas

Ingredients: 

• 5 portobello mushrooms, cleaned, stems and gills removed

• Black olives, sliced
• Pickled jalapeños

• Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper,  to taste

How to Make Portobello Mushroom Pizzettas:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil, and coat it with cooking spray.

Clean the mushrooms with a wet paper towel, then carefully remove the stem and gills.

Spread pizza sauce inside, sprinkle some cheese, then add toppings.

Place pizzettas on the prepared baking sheet.

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

Serve immediately. Enjoy.
