Air Fryer Portobello Pizzas for Two Recipe

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 portobello mushroom caps, gills removed
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
6 tablespoons pizza sauce
5 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
2 tablespoons sliced black olives
8 pepperoni slices

Directions

Preheat the air fryer to 350F (175C) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Rub 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each mushroom cap. Sprinkle teaspoon of Italian seasoning inside each mushroom.
Place the mushrooms in the air fryer basket with the cap-side up. Air-fry for 3 minutes.
Flip the mushrooms so the cap-side is facing down. Divide the pizza sauce between the two mushrooms. Top each with 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella and 1 tablespoon of sliced black olives. Air-fry for another 3 minutes.
Place 4 pepperoni slices on each mushroom pizza. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of mozzarella cheese evenly on top. (Tip: Press the pepperoni slices down gently with the cheese to keep them in place while cooking.)
Air-fry until the cheese is melted and the pepperoni is browned, about 2 minutes.

I tested it out and it was absolutely delicious! For thicker portobello mushrooms, air fry them for 7 minutes.

I was eager to test out this recipe because I've had great success with new recipes in my Ninja air fryer. I made two batches following the recipes exactly, but changed the toppings to fresh garlic, basil, and tomato. With the air fryer set on 'air crisp,' the pies came out al dente, which could be good for some people's preferences. For the second batch, I switched the air fryer to 'bake' and initially cooked for 4 minutes, then finished with 6 more minutes after turning. The result was a more thoroughly cooked and, in my opinion, much tastier outcome. I will definitely be making this quick and easy recipe again, but with the modified cooking times and settings.
