Bite-size and crispy, these mushrooms are always a crowd favorite. The star ingredient here is the nutritional yeast, a plant-based ingredient that has the power to add a savory, cheesy flavor to basically anything.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

    Step 2

    Pop out the stems of the mushrooms and discard. Wipe the mushroom caps clean with a damp paper towel and place round side down on the prepared baking sheet and set aside.

    Step 3

    Combine the bread crumbs, nutritional yeast, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a bowl.

    Step 4

    Using a teaspoon measure, stuff each mushroom cap with a heaping mound of the bread crumb filling. Lightly drizzle the mushrooms with the remaining oil. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.

  2. Do Ahead

    Step 5

    The mushrooms can be cleaned and stemmed, and the bread crumb filling made, up to a day in advance and stored in airtight containers in the fridge. That way all you have to do before the party is stuff and bake them!
