portobello pizza

This portobello mushroom pizza flips the typical pizza on its head! Use the mushroom as a crust for an easy dinner or side dish.

Easy Portobello Mushroom Pizza

portobello caps (about 10 to 12 ounces)

olive oil

oregano

garlic powder

salt

Easy Pizza Sauce

mozzarella cheese

Pecorino Romano cheese (highly recommended*)

Toppings: sliced Fresno peppers, fresh basil, other toppings

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Clean the portobello mushrooms and remove the stems. Place the mushrooms on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet gill side up. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil with the oregano and garlic powder. Brush the tops and bottoms of the mushroom caps with the oil, adding a little more to the bowl of spices if it runs out. Sprinkle the kosher salt evenly divided among the mushroom caps.

Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the mushrooms for 10 to 15 minutes until tender. Once baked, drain the caps of all of the excess liquid (this step is important: otherwise the mushrooms are much too watery).

Turn down the oven heat to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread each cap with pizza sauce, then add mozzarella and Pecorino cheese, and desired toppings. Bake 6 to 8 minutes until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.  

Instead of a traditional tomato-based sauce, this portobello &amp; kale pizza is topped with a sauce made from roasted garlic.

Portobello Pizza with Roasted Garlic Sauce and Kale

garlic

olive oil (divided)

salt and pepper (to taste)

portobello mushroom (thinly sliced)

kale leaves

pizza crust or about 10 oz pizza dough

cheese (shredded)

Preheat oven to temperature indicated on pizza crust package or, if you're using dough, preheat to 450°F. Place pizza stone or baking sheet in oven.

Remove roasted garlic cloves from skins and place in small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and mash with fork until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushroom slices and cook until softened, 3–5 minutes. Add kale and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes more. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.

Place pizza crust on parchment paper. Spread roasted garlic sauce onto crust, leaving a 1-inch edge on all sides. Top with half of cheese, mushrooms, and kale, then remaining cheese.

Carefully transfer pizza on parchment paper to pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for time indicated on crust package or 10–15 minutes if using dough, or until crust is golden brown and kale is just beginning to crisp.
