Easy

  • 6 oz. mixed oyster mushrooms, cut or torn into large pieces (about 3½ cups)

  • 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

  • 1 lb. store-bought pizza dough, room temperature

  • ⅓ cup (or more) barbecue sauce

  1. Place a rack in upper third of oven and preheat to 475°. Drizzle oyster mushrooms with olive oil in a large bowl; toss to coat. Set aside.

  4. Bake until crust is golden and cheese is melted, 16–20 minutes.

  5. Broil pizza until oyster mushrooms are browned and crispy, about 2 minutes.

  6. Drizzle more barbecue sauce if desired and top with red pepper flakes and cilantro.
