Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and arrange the mushroom caps gill side up.
Tip: Scraping the gills lightly helps them cook more evenly and gives the stuffing better contact with the mushroom.
- 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, parmesan, chopped parsley, minced roasted garlic, smoked sea salt, and black pepper. Stir until everything is evenly distributed.
Tip: Roasted garlic is milder and sweeter than raw garlic, which balances the smokiness beautifully.
- 3
Drizzle the olive oil into the breadcrumb mixture and toss with a fork until the breadcrumbs are evenly moistened but not soggy. The texture should be like damp sand.
Tip: Don't oversaturate the mixture or your topping will turn dense and heavy during baking.
- 4
Divide the breadcrumb mixture evenly among the mushroom caps, pressing gently so it forms a compact layer on top of each one.
Tip: Press firmly enough that the topping stays in place during cooking but not so hard that you compress the mushroom cap itself.
- 5
Place the tray in your preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the mushroom caps are tender and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown and crispy.
Tip: If your mushrooms release a lot of liquid, you can tip the tray slightly to drain it partway through cooking.
- 6
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Tip: A sprinkle of extra fresh parsley on top just before serving adds a nice fresh contrast to the smoky flavors.
