Mushroom Pizza Bites

(Makes 1 serving)

What You’ll Need:

Parchment paper

Nonstick cooking spray

12 large white mushrooms,

stems removed

1/4 cup chopped raw spinach

1/4 cup all-natural marinara sauce

Garlic powder (to taste; optional)

1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil leaves

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375° F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper; coat with spray.

2. Arrange mushrooms on prepared baking sheet, stem-side down; coat lightly with spray. Bake for 6 minutes; leave oven on.

3. Flip mushrooms; let mushrooms sit for 1 minute to release liquid.

Pour out any liquid that has collected inside the mushroom cap, then blot dry with a paper towel.

4. Fill each mushroom with 1 tsp. spinach, 1 tsp. marinara sauce, and garlic powder (if desired); top with 1 tsp. cheese. Bake for 3 minutes, until cheese is melted.

5. Garnish with basil; serve immediately, or store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to four days.

Note: You can replace spinach with your favorite veggie pizza toppings. Cook harder vegetables, like bell peppers or onions before using. You can even finely chop the mushroom stems, cook them with garlic, and add to your “pizzas.”
