Instructions

1. Prepare the Mushrooms:

  3. Brush the caps with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

2. Pre-Bake the Mushrooms:
Place the mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet, gill side up. Bake for 5-7 minutes to remove excess moisture. Pat dry with a paper towel if needed.

3. Add Toppings:
Spread marinara sauce inside each mushroom cap. Top with mozzarella, Parmesan, and your choice of toppings (e.g., pepperoni, bell peppers, olives).

4. Bake & Serve:
