Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Portobello Mushrooms

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Clean the portobello mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Brush both sides with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Roast the Mushrooms

    Place the seasoned portobello mushrooms on a baking sheet, gill side up, and roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    While the mushrooms are roasting, drain the artichoke hearts and roasted red peppers. Chop them into bite-sized pieces and mix them with the vegan mozzarella cheese in a bowl.

  4. 4

    Assemble The Nicki B.

    Remove the mushrooms from the oven and fill each mushroom cap with the artichoke, roasted red pepper, and vegan mozzarella mixture.

  5. 5

    Final Roast

    Return the stuffed mushrooms to the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    Serve hot as is or with a side of vegan sambal aioli for dipping.
