Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms with Italian Sausage & Parmesan

A low-carb, high-protein PCOS-friendly dinner! Juicy portobello mushrooms stuffed with Italian sausage, spinach, and Parmesan. Ready in 30 minutes.

  • Total Time: 35
  • Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients

  • 4 large portobello mushroom caps
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ lb Italian sausage (casings removed, sugar-free)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups fresh spinach (fresh is best!)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt, pepper, and fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Clean mushrooms and remove stems/gills.
  2. Par-Bake: Brush caps with oil, place gill-side up on sheet. Bake 10 mins.
  3. Sauté: Brown sausage in a pan. Add garlic and spinach; cook until wilted. Remove from heat. Mix in seasonings and half the cheese.
  4. Stuff: Blot moisture from mushroom centers. Fill generously with sausage mix. Top with remaining cheese.
  5. Finish: Bake 12–15 mins until golden and tender. Enjoy the victory!

Notes

  • For a crispier top, broil for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking.

  • Ensure your Italian sausage has no added sugars to keep it truly low-carb and PCOS-friendly.

  • The mushrooms will release liquid as they bake; the initial roast helps manage this.
