Directions for Gluten-Free Portobella Pizzas:

• Heat Oven to 400 Degrees
• Remove Stem and Gills from Portabella Mushroom Caps.  Note: to remove gills, gently run a spoon along the bottom and sides
• Clean cap with a wet paper towel.  Do not wash them in the sink or they will get too watery. Lightly brush cap with olive oil (especially the edges to prevent crispiness). 
• Bake cap-side-up for 5 minutes.  Flip and bake for 10 minutes - water should be accumulating on the gill side.  Drain water from caps and blot with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.  
• Add toppings & place under broiler until cheese is bubbling. Remove from oven and serve immediately.  Mushrooms can be cut into fourths to make mini gluten-free Portabella Pizza Bites for an appetizer. 
• Serve with a side salad, risotto, or even on a gluten-free bun for a mushroom sandwich.
