Mushroom Cap Pizza Poppers (gluten free & low carb)

Well, first you have to like mushrooms, so if you do, read on ...


To make the mushroom caps, find the largest mushrooms available, wash and remove the stumps. Put them upside down to drain the water out of the cap tops.

Spray a baking sheet with EVOL or whatever other type of healthy cooking oil you would normally use.

Place mushroom caps (empty stump side up) on the pan and fill the inside of the cap with tomato sauce of your choice - prepackaged spaghetti sauce, marinara, or just plain.

Top with a small amount of shredded cheese - mozzarella is a popular pizza cheese, but anything you have on hand will be fine - even a non-dairy cheese product would work. You could also place a small tomato here instead (think chopped canned tomatoes).

Top with your favorite pizza topping ... I used pepperoni, but you can use small pieces of anything - ham, artichoke, olives, chicken, zuchinni, etc.

Bake at 400 for approx 8 minutes. After cooking remove from baking sheet and place on a plate to cool. Top with parmesean if desired and POP!
