Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large portobello mushroom caps
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup pizza sauce or marinara
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, tor
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375-400°F.
  2. Remove the stems from the mushroom caps and scrape out the dark gills.
  3. Brush both sides of each portobello with olive oil and season the gill side with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place the mushrooms gill-side down on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes.
  5. Flip the mushrooms and spoon pizza sauce into each cap, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese and add toppings.
  6. Close the grill lid and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the cheese melts.
  7. Remove from the grill and top with fresh basil leaves and red pepper flakes if desired.

Notes

Choose mushrooms with wide, flat caps for maximum topping space. Remove gills to prevent sogginess. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
