Easy Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms

I could certainly serve this beside my popular recipe for the Best Easy Italian Bruschetta. Both of these recipes are great for when you entertain.

This delicious vegan recipe is a winner for serving up for a crowd.

Something that I like about this recipe is that it can be prepared ahead of time and then heated up when I am ready to serve it.
Also, there are many ways to enhance or personalize these yummy stuffed mushrooms.

Yes, you can certainly stuff these baked mushrooms the night before actually baking them.

To do so, you would need to prepare the mushrooms just as you would if you were to bake this recipe right away.
Then instead of placing the mushrooms into the oven, cover them well with plastic wrap and then store the mushrooms in the refrigerator.

You could easily freeze these stuffed mushrooms as well.

Simply prepare the mushrooms as you would if you were baking them immediately. Then tightly pack them into a flat freeze container such as one of these. When you are ready to make these simply allow them to defrost in the refrigerator for a couple of hours first.
I should mention that these instructions assume that your ingredients are able to be frozen as not everything is suitable for freezing.

Obviously, to make these mushrooms vegan you will need to use vegan ingredients.

However, if you are simply here following this recipe as a Mediterranean diet friendly appetizer then you will be able to add grated Parmesan cheese. Vegan diet followers can omit this or use a vegan cheese alternative instead.

You will also need bread crumbs for this recipe.

Mediterranean diet followers can use whole wheat Italian or similar style bread crumbs. I love that there are a lot of vegan, low carb, and gluten free alternatives for bread crumbs for folks as well!

Here are some helpful tips for making these Easy Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms

I just mentioned that there are vegan alternatives for bread crumbs and for cheese Also, followers of the Mediterranean diet can use whole wheat Italian or similar style bread crumbs.

Here are some more great tips for you.

  1. These stuffed mushrooms can be frozen away for later use. If you are planning on doing this then do not precook the mushrooms before freezing them. Also, be sure to store your mushrooms in a flat freezer container that has sides, packing the mushrooms in enough to keep them with the stuffing standing upright.
  2. Chopping or mincing your ingredients is essential for allowing them to fit inside of the mushrooms well. I like to make the bulk of the stuffing ahead of time and allow them to integrate together in the refrigerator before actually stuffing the mushrooms with it.
  3. Use a baking sheet lined with
    Parchment Paper to bake your mushrooms on for an easy clean up and to allow the mushrooms to easily bake.
  4. I mention in the preparation of the mushrooms to remove the stems, however, you can keep the stems intact, cutting off the ends and cleaning around them, or you can remove the stems and chop them up and then add them to the stuffing if you desire to do so.

Here is what you need to know about the mushrooms and how to prepare them for this recipe.

First off, the best mushrooms to use in a recipe such as this one are the large sturdy white kind. For an appetizer recipe such as this one, I like Baby Bella or large Cremini mushrooms. But, Portobello mushrooms or Shiitake mushrooms can work in this recipe too.

Here is how to prepare your mushroom.

Use a paper towel or clean dish towel to wipe the dirt off of your mushroom and then remove the stems (which can be chopped up and added to the stuffing!). Then use a spoon to scoop out the ‘gills’.Some folks prefer to keep the stems intact and simply clean around them. If you go this route I suggest trimming off the ends of the stems.

These stuffed mushrooms can be prepared ahead of time and then refrigerated.

The leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for four to five days as well. Simply reheat them in a toaster oven to heat them up.
