Ingredients

• 4 large portobello mushrooms
• grapeseed oil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
• 1 cup of your favorite pizza sauce

For the “cheeze” topping:*

• ½ cup raw cashews
• 2 tablespoon nutritional yeast
• ½ tsp sea salt

Instructions 

1. Preheat your oven to 400ºF/200ºC. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Clean the mushrooms and remove the stems, and brush both sides with a small amount of olive oil, placing them on the baking sheet
3. Sprinkle the basil, oregano and thyme seasonings over the top, and bake for 5-8 minutes.
4. While they are pre-cooking, prepare the cheeze topping: place the nuts, nutritional yeast, and salt in a food processor and pulse until it turns into a parmesan-like consistency. 
5. Remove the mushrooms from the oven and top with pizza sauce, toppings, and a sprinkle of vegan cheese. Place back in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the toppings are tender.
