Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Soften the Sweet Potato Croutons
Place Roots Farm Fresh Sweet Potato Croutons on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 5 minutes to soften and partially cook. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Keep the parchment paper on the baking sheet for the mushrooms.
Step 3: Make the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, pecorino or parmesan cheese, sundried tomatoes, parsley, minced garlic, softened sweet potato croutons, sea salt, and pepper.
Mix until evenly combined.
Step 4: Prepare the Mushrooms
Place the crimini mushrooms top side down on the same parchment-lined baking sheet.
Drizzle lightly with olive oil or avocado oil and season with a pinch of sea salt.
Step 5: Stuff the Mushrooms
Spoon the herb and sweet potato crouton filling into each mushroom cap.
Press gently so the filling holds together.
Step 6: Bake the Stuffed Mushrooms
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the stuffing is slightly golden and crisp.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and extra cheese if desired.
Serve warm as an appetizer, snack, or party bite.
