Hands-On Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: Serves 12

12 large white mushrooms

1/2 small zucchini, trimmed and minced

1/2 medium red bell pepper, seeded and minced

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon water

1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

2. Clean the mushrooms with a dry paper towel; remove and reserve stems. Mince the mushroom stems.

3. Prepare a medium skillet with olive oil spray and place it over medium heat. Add the zucchini and red pepper and sauté for about 2–3 minutes. Add mushroom stems and garlic powder and continue to sauté until all vegetables are tender, about 4–5 minutes. Add water to skillet as needed to prevent sticking and promote steaming.
