Roasted Portobello Mushrooms Stuffed with Spinach and Tomatoes

I am trying to incorporate more meatless meals into our diet, so I made this easy recipe for roasted portobello mushrooms stuffed with spinach and tomatoes. I sauteed spinach and grape tomatoes, stuffed them inside a portobello mushroom cap, and then topped each mushroom with seasoned panko and roasted them. These stuffed portobello mushrooms turned out amazing! The combination of flavors & textures was terrific, and we thought these stuffed mushrooms paired nicely with a loaded Caesar salad and some crusty olive bread.

How to Make Roasted Portobello Mushrooms Stuffed with Spinach and Tomatoes

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tin foil, then coat it with cooking spray.

Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the grape tomatoes along with crushed red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1-2 minutes. Add the washed spinach along with the balsamic vinegar and garlic, then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat.

Remove the gills from the inside of the mushrooms with a spoon, then rub a bit of olive oil on the inside and outside of each portobello. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Spoon the spinach mixture evenly into each mushroom cap. Sprinkle each top with panko crumbs and a bit of Parmesan cheese.

Place into the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

Place onto a serving plate, then sprinkle with a bit of fresh parsley on top. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
