Spoon the black bean mixture into each mushroom cap, pressing down gently to pack it in.

Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, sauté the chopped mushroom stems, onion, and garlic in a skillet with olive oil before adding them to the black bean mixture.

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling for a little heat.

To make a quick balsamic glaze, simmer balsamic vinegar in a saucepan over low heat until it reduces and thickens.

Grated Parmesan cheese can be added to the filling or sprinkled on top before baking for a non-vegan option.
