Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the Mushrooms

Remove the stems from the mushrooms. You can save the stems for another use, such as adding them to soups, stews, or stir-fries. Gently clean the mushroom caps with a damp paper towel or a soft brush to remove any dirt.

Step 3: Make the Breadcrumb Stuffing

In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped parsley, nutritional yeast, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Mix well to combine all the ingredients evenly. The mixture should be moist but not soggy. If it seems too dry, you can add a little bit more olive oil, a teaspoon at a time.

Step 4: Stuff the Mushrooms

Spoon the breadcrumb mixture into the mushroom caps, pressing down lightly to pack it in. Fill each mushroom generously.

Step 5: Arrange on Baking Sheet

Place the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 6: Bake

Bake the stuffed mushrooms for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the stuffing is golden brown and slightly crispy.

Step 7: Serve

Serve the Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms warm, optionally garnished with extra chopped fresh parsley.
