THE BEST VEGETARIAN/VEGAN STUFFED MUSHROOM RECIPE – QUICK & EASY!

Ingredients

  • 2 portobello mushrooms

  • 1 small sweet potato

  • 1 tsp Chinese 5-spice

  • 2 tbsp maple syrup

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • Feta (Optional, to add at the end)

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan.

  2. Peel and chop the sweet potato into small chunks, then toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, Chinese 5-spice, and maple syrup. Roast until tender.

  3. Allow to cool slightly, then mash in a bowl.

  4. Generously fill each mushroom with the mashed sweet potato mixture.

  5. Arrange the mushrooms on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 15 minutes, or until heated through.

  6. Crumble over feta and serve with your favourite toppings—hummus, pesto, or sun-dried tomato pesto all pair beautifully. For a vegan option, simply leave off the feta and use hummus or another plant-based topping instead.

    Enjoy this dish as a satisfying plant-based main or a flavour-packed side. Quick, easy, and full of bold, warming flavours!
