Crunchy Stuffed Cremini Mushrooms image

Bite-size and crispy, these mushrooms are always a crowd favorite. The star ingredient here is the nutritional yeast, a plant-based ingredient that has the power to add a savory, cheesy flavor to basically anything.

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds small fresh cremini mushrooms
3/4 cup gluten-free panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
3 packed tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 large garlic clove, minced
Zest of 1/2 lemon
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Pop out the stems of the mushrooms and discard. Wipe the mushroom caps clean with a damp paper towel and place round side down on the prepared baking sheet and set aside.
  • Combine the bread crumbs, nutritional yeast, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a bowl.
  • Using a teaspoon measure, stuff each mushroom cap with a heaping mound of the bread crumb filling. Lightly drizzle the mushrooms with the remaining oil. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.
  • Do Ahead
  • The mushrooms can be cleaned and stemmed, and the bread crumb filling made, up to a day in advance and stored in airtight containers in the fridge. That way all you have to do before the party is stuff and bake them!
