Stuffed portobello mushrooms with all the pizza fixings are a perfect way to enjoy the flavours of a good pizza with zero guilt. Make these for lunch or dinner in just over 20 minutes!
In a small bowl add 2 tbsp of olive oil, 1 1/2 tsp of minced garlic, 1/4 salt and pinch of black pepper. Mix well. Baste the top of each mushroom cap with the oil mixture and place the mushrooms top side down on a non-stick baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes and remove from oven.
Add 2 tbsp of pizza sauce, 1/4 cup cheese, 1/2 a sliced pepperette and any other desired toppings. Sprinkle with a pinch of Italian seasoning. Bake for another 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Top with a fresh basil leaf whole or rough chopped and serve.

RECIPE NOTES
Choosing portobello mushrooms - Look for mushrooms that are firm and uniform in colour... not spotty. Good ones will feel dry, a little tacky but never slimy.
Storing leftovers - Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat for 90 seconds in the microwave or in an oven at 350F for about 10-12 minutes.
Freezing - make these ahead of time and freeze them for up to 3 months. You can freeze them for up to 3 months by wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap. When you are ready to make them just thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in the oven or microwave
