    • The Best Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms (Easy & Healthy)

    Ingredients You’ll Need & Substitutions

    All you need are simple wholesome veggies to make these amazing vegan stuffed mushrooms. And, these mushrooms are completely soy-free, nut-free, and oil-free! Here’s what you’ll need:

    • Mushrooms: you can use white button mushrooms, cremini mushrooms, or baby portobello mushrooms (baby bella mushrooms)
    • Breadcrumbs: I love panko bread crumbs because they’re crispy. But, feel free to use whatever you have available. If you are making this dish gluten-free, sub the breadcrumbs with coaresly blended oats.
    • Onion: yellow or white onions (about 1 small onion)
    • Peppers: green and red bell pepper, chopped
    • Carrot: adds color, sweetness, and loaded with fiber
    • Zucchini: because cucumber would suck.
    • Greens: I prefer chopped spinach but you could just as easily use kale, chard, or even collard greens.
    • Nutritional Yeast: adds a nutty, savory, and cheesy flavor to the mixture.
    • Garlic Powder: for adding depth of flavor but not quite as pungent as regular garlic thought you could use minced garlic if you wish.
    • Salt and pepper: season to taste.
    • Optional: feel free to add any of your favorite herbs and spices to the vegetable mixture. This recipe is super versatile when it comes to flavor.

    How To Make Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms

    1. First, preheat your oven to 375°F. Next, remove the mushroom stems with a paring knife, gently create a small well in the center of the mushroom, and set them aside.
    2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, bell peppers, carrots, zucchini, and spinach along with any spices or herbs to the pan and cook until the vegetables are tender, usually about 5 minutes.
    3. Once the vegetables have cooked add them to a food processor with the nutritional yeast. Pulse several times, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed, until the mixture looks like stuffing.
    4. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl, and combine the cooked vegetables with the breadcrumbs then taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Mix until everything is well combined.
    5. Spoon the mixture into the mushroom caps, filling each cap until it’s overflowing.
    6. Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet, sprinkle with more panko breadcrumbs for crunch, and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the stuffing is crispy and golden brown.

    How To Serve Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms

    Serve these little umami bombs hot out of the oven with your favorite dressings. I love dipping these bad boys in my creamy vegan ranch dressing or drizzling with some balsamic glaze. Also, don’t forget to show them them with this deliciously dairy-free vegan parmesan cheese, AHHH…MAZING!

    A few other delicious dipping options are:

    • Fat-free Vegan Cheese Sauce
    • Chipotle Aioli
    • Best & Easiest Vegan Queso
    • Garlic Basil Vegan Aioli

    Storage

    Refrigerator: Place leftovers in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for 3-4 days. When you’re ready to enjoy the mushrooms simply reheat the stuffed mushrooms in a 350˚F oven for 10 minutes.

    FAQ

    What do I do with the leftover mushroom stems?

    Mushroom stems are just as edible as the mushroom and taste just the same. They’re pefect for making vegan cream of mushroom soup, mushroom gravy, or chop them up and make my delicious vegan taco meat.

    Can I make these vegan stuffed mushrooms gluten-free?

    Yes, use gluten-free panko breadcrumbs or make your own with gluten-free bread.

    Can I freeze stuffed mushrooms?

    No, the mushrooms will not hold up and it wouldn’t be good at all.

    Is there anything else I can use as stuffing?

    Yes, try my vegan cream cheese.

    Can these vegan stuffed mushrooms be made grain-free?

    Yes, eliminate the breadcrumbs.

    This vegan stuffed mushroom recipe is a great way to enjoy a classic dish without sacrificing taste or nutrition.

    The mushrooms are rich in vitamins and minerals, including vitamin D, potassium, and iron, while the filling provides a tasty and nutritious alternative to traditional meat-based stuffings.

    So, whether you’re a vegan or simply looking for a healthier option, give these vegan stuffed mushrooms a try. Your taste buds, and your guests, will thank you!

      I made these last night and they were really tasty! We enjoyed them plain without any dip or sauce on the side. Some modifications I made:
      – I chopped all the veggies really finely and skipped putting them in the food processor.
      – I just eyeballed the nutritional yeast and breadcrumbs rather than following the amounts in the recipe, and added some extra spice in the form of red chili powder and chili flakes.

      Hi Shane, just wondering why you don’t chop up the mushroom stems and include those in the stuffing ingredients. Thank you so much for all the recipes that you share with us, very much appreciated. Blessings, Sharon.

        You know, Sharon, that’s a great point. The honest answer is, I’ve just always used them for something else. But, that’s a great idea!
