Simply Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms
Posted in: Appetizer ideas, Food Photos, Party Ideas, Side Dish Ideas, Snack Ideas, Vegetarian Ideas |
This is another one that’s going to make mom laugh. Besides onion that, as a child, I despised and now can’t live without mushrooms were a close second for most hated veggie. Yet again my mom was right, they are GOOD! especially stuffed! (and in eggs. Yes, I actually had mushrooms twice today.)
For some reason I bought an 8 oz package of mushrooms last weekend. I had no idea what I was going to do with them but they looked so darn good! This morning I decided I better use them before I was forced to throw them out. Especially considering this weekend is so jam packed with events I’ll never have time to cook.
So I came up with a stuffed mushroom idea. I wanted something light and tasty using what I had on hand. I have to admit, I hit the nail on the head. They were awesome! I didn’t even offer any to the husband in fears he would actually want to try one. :~P
I’m also excited as this is my first recipe to receive 5 out of 5 stars for weight loss and optimal health on NutritionData.com.

- 8 oz package of white button mushrooms
- 3 large cloves of garlic minced
- 4 cups of baby spinach leaves chopped
- 2 tbsp (10g) parmesan, shredded
- Kosher Salt & Pepper
- Olive Oil cooking spray
Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees
Clean the mushrooms and remove stems. Mince the stems and set aside as they will be part of your stuffing.
Mince the garlic.
Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat, spray with cooking spray. Add the minced garlic and mushroom stems. Sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper. While cooking, chop the spinach, you don’t want large pieces or stems.
Add the spinach to the skillet a little at a time and cook down sprinkling a bit more salt and pepper.
Remove filling from heat. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Stuff the mushrooms with the spinach mixture. Really jam it in there you just have more then enough.
Top with parmesan cheese and bake for about 20 minutes!

Roni, I can’t wait to try these. They look amazing. I’m adding mushrooms to the shopping list right now:)
Oh man…these look and sound delicious! And so low point! I’m making some THIS weekend! Thanks Roni…….AGAIN!
Mmmm. I love me some mushrooms! And, I have this really, really unhealthy but delicious recipe for stuffed mushrooms that uses cream cheese and pork sausage. I wonder if this could be a replacement for that? Might be worth a try! Thanks!
WOW! These look sooo good! I can’t believe it’s only 2 POINTS! I am making these very, VERY SOON!
ALL of those are 2pts???? Hello new thing to try this wknd!!!!! Amazing. Looks delicious!
What a great alternative to the meat stuffed mushrooms. Going to make these for a Thanksgiving appetizer!
Oh. My. Word. Hit the nail on the head is right! Bestill my heart, Roni!! <3 lol!
Yum. These look wonderful!
Those look SO NUMMY.
I so wish I could force myself to cook something NOT involving sugar-free jell-o. It’d be a first.
;)
These look fantastic! I may have to hit the grocery store just so I can make a batch for lunch.
WOW IS RIGHT! SOME TIMES SIMPLICTY IS YUMMY AND LOW POINTS!!! :)
ITS TO BE A BEAUTIFUL FALL WEEKEND IN THE MID WEST ENJOY!!!

OMG…..these are absolutely fabulous, Roni! I am eating them right now!!! I have a daughter-in-law who loves stuffed mushrooms, and…for Christmas when my sons’ families come to my house, we always do hors-doevres. THESE are definitely going to be on the list!….although I’ll have to double or triple the recipe, because I’ll be eating one recipe by myself.
Oh and Roni…..new Aldi’s food find (when i went Friday after work to get mushrooms, spinach and parmasen cheese–how ’bout those shreaded cheese varieties in the pint cartons?!?)….Parkview Snack Bites - Turkey Sausage. It’s an 8 oz. package of little 1″ sausage bites and 6 pieces are 60 cal/3 g fat/0g fiber….that would be 1 point, wouldn’t it? I found them right after I walked in the door…on the right. I imagine most Aldi’s are stocked the same. I cut little rounds yesterday and put them in my Aldi’s brand eggbeaters/sausage/mushroom/tomato/onion/pepper/FFcheese omelet. YUM!
MMM. This sounds so good. I will have to check and see if I have button mushrooms in the fridge.
My husband loves stuffed mushrooms but hates anything that can be deemed “healthy”. . .I can’t wait to try these out on him!
Thanks for the great ideas Roni! :o)
This reminded me that I had mushrooms in my fridge. I stuffed mine with laughing cow cheese (the light garlic herb kind). Mmmmm, they were great.
I tried these last night and they were awesome! This will be a great movie snack I think.
Rachel - Thanks for trying them and letting me know! :~)
I loved them! Paired ‘em with half a tuna salad sandwich for extra protein, and had myself a 4-Point lunch.
Thanks for hitting it out of the park yet again, Roni!
Roni,
I have been an an avid follower of your site for quite a while and have never commented. Just wanted to let you know you are such an inspiration to me. Thanks for all your hard work on this site. I can’t wait to make these mushrooms. They look amazing!
These were great. Even husband ate them.
I just made these (added garlic salt and italian seasoning to spinach mixture and sprinkled with grated parm.) YUM! Thanks, Roni, for a very low point,healthy (and GOOD) meal idea. Perfect for my dinner tonight, considering I ate the majority of my points during the day and only have a few left!! :)
okay so I just made these for an appeteaser… YUM!! I might add a little more salt (i don’t think I put enough) but they were super yum! I have your muffins in the oven now too! :) 2 recipes in one day!!
These are absolutely delicious!! My husband even loves them! Im waiting for the Simple Onion Turkey Loaf to get finished and I cant stay away from those mushrooms… i think i might have to make more :O)
This is my favorite recipe yet!!!
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
WOW, these look so good!! I was planning on making stuffed mushrooms to go with the Thanksgiving dinner this year but to spice things up I’m so making these =)
