Healthy Eats: Parmesan Mushrooms

parm mushroomsI’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, make your vegetables taste good and it won’t be hard to eat them! Parmesan is very low calorie and fat for a cheese so it won’t ruin your day to have a little and mushrooms provide a ton of health benefits…put them together and you’ll have delicious roasted Parmesan Mushrooms.

First things first, wash your mushrooms. They are often very dirty and need to be wiped off with wet paper towels. Then, remove the stem and place on a lined cookie sheet. I used Portabello mushrooms but you could use white mushrooms too. Lightly season with salt and pepper then roast at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Dab out any excess water that releases from the mushrooms with paper towels so the inside is fairly dry. Then sprinkle with approximately 1 TSP of cheese per Parmesan Mushroom cap. Return to the oven until the cheese melts. 

Did you know that mushrooms are really good for you? They are the only fruit or vegetable that contains Vitamin D. Mushrooms boost your immune system, provide antioxidants (the substances that fight free radicals), contain B vitamins which help rev up your metabolism, and are rich in selenium which is shown to help with bladder health.
