Ingredients
Scale
For the Mushrooms
- 8 large portobello mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Filling
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1 red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 zucchini, finely diced
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Topping
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for added crunch)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Mushrooms
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Clean the portobello mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth. Remove the stems and scoop out the gills with a spoon to create space for the filling.
- Brush the mushrooms on both sides with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Place them gill-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 2: Cook the Filling
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
- Add the red bell pepper and zucchini, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the chopped spinach, minced garlic, oregano, basil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3: Stuff the Mushrooms
- Divide the vegetable mixture evenly among the prepared mushroom caps, pressing the filling down gently to compact it.
- Top each stuffed mushroom with a generous layer of mozzarella cheese, followed by Parmesan cheese. If using breadcrumbs, sprinkle them over the top for added crunch.
Step 4: Bake the Mushrooms
- Bake the stuffed mushrooms in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
