1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Preparation Steps

Instructions

Prepare the Mushrooms

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Clean the portobello mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth and remove the stems.

Sauté the Veggies

In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the diced bell peppers, onions, and garlic until they are soft. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted.

Mix the Filling

In a bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with cashew cream, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is combined.

Stuff the Mushrooms

Spoon the vegetable filling generously into each mushroom cap and place them on a baking sheet.

Bake the Mushrooms

Drizzle the stuffed mushrooms with a little olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and golden.

Serve

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms!

Enjoy!

Storing and Reheating

If you have leftover Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. They make for a quick and nutritious snack or side dish that can be enjoyed straight from the fridge or reheated. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven (350°F or 175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through.

If you want to prepare them ahead of time, you can stuff the mushrooms and store them unbaked in the refrigerator for a few hours until you’re ready to pop them in the oven. Just remember to adjust the cooking time slightly if baking straight from the fridge.

Pairing Suggestions

Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms can be paired with a variety of dishes to create a well-rounded meal. They complement a simple green salad beautifully, providing a contrasting texture and flavor profile. For a more hearty meal, serve them alongside a grain like quinoa or brown rice, making for a satisfying and filling plate.
