Ingredients

Scale
  • About 20 large white or cremini mushrooms, stems removed and cleaned
  • Mixed veggies, finely chopped (bell peppers, spinach, red onion)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
  • Homemade ranch seasoning: 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp dried dill, 1 tsp dried parsley, ½ tsp black pepper, ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green onions (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Gently clean the mushroom caps with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems carefully and set the caps aside. Chop the stems finely.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems, mixed veggies, and minced garlic. Sauté until soft and fragrant, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a bowl, combine the sautéed veggies with Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and homemade ranch seasoning. Stir until well combined and adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the mushroom caps and arrange them on the baking sheet gill side up. Spoon the veggie ranch mixture evenly into each cap, mounding slightly. Bake for 18-20 minutes until mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden on top. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

To avoid soggy mushrooms, gently clean without soaking, sauté the filling to reduce moisture, and do not overfill the caps. Use freshly grated Parmesan for better flavor and filling texture. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond-based yogurt and Parmesan with nutritional yeast. Mushrooms can be prepared and stuffed ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Avoid freezing as it affects texture.
