Sweet Potato Stuffed Mushrooms
As if baked mushrooms weren’t delicious enough: Add a melt-in-your-mouth filling of chickpea, spinach, and sweet potato for a heavenly appetizer or main dish.
Betcha can’t eat just one of these vegan stuffed mushrooms that are packed with smoky Southwest flavor. A combination of mashed sweet potato and chickpeas cooks up golden and crisp on the outside, meltingly creamy on the inside, while the mushroom caps turn tender and juicy. The stuffed mushrooms can be made up to two days ahead before baking, or they can be baked, frozen, then reheated just before serving. If you don’t have chickpeas on hand, white beans can be substituted. You can also simplify the spices by just seasoning the filling with 1½ tablespoons of chili powder.
