🍳 Step-by-Step Overview

1️⃣ Prepare the Mushrooms

Start by preheating your oven to 175°C (350°F) and lining a baking sheet with cooking spray. Clean the portobello mushrooms gently using a damp paper towel. Remove and finely chop the stems, then scrape out and discard the gills to make room for the filling.

2️⃣ Make the Filling

In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté garlic and the chopped stems until fragrant and slightly browned — but be careful not to burn the garlic! 🔥 Once cooled, mix the cooked stems with soft tofu, grated Parmesan, onion powder, parsley, paprika, and a hint of cayenne. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

3️⃣ Stuff and Bake

Spoon the tofu-Parmesan mixture generously into each mushroom cap. Arrange them neatly on your baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, or until hot and tender with flavorful juices forming underneath.

4️⃣ Serve and Enjoy

Serve the baked mushrooms warm alongside cooked brown rice 🍚. Each bite combines earthy mushrooms, creamy tofu, and the savory sharpness of Parmesan — comfort food at its healthiest!

💡 Pro Tips

• Drain the tofu well before mixing — this prevents a soggy filling.
• Don’t rush the garlic — gentle sautéing brings out sweetness instead of bitterness.
• Add a sprinkle of extra Parmesan or breadcrumbs on top before baking for a golden crust.

🌱 Perfect Pairings

Pair these stuffed mushrooms with a fresh green salad, or drizzle with a bit of balsamic glaze for a touch of tangy sweetness.
