Chef’s tips:
- You can customise this recipe by adding other vegetables, such as capsicum or zucchini or use up whatever veggies are in the fridge.
- If you’re preparing these in advance, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. They also freeze well for up to 2 months.
- For a lower-fat version, you can skip the optional grated cheese or use a reduced-fat cheese alternative.
- Add a side salad to increase the fibre content of the meal and support good gut health.
Why it’s good for you:
- Mushrooms are one of the few foods that can provide vitamin D, especially when exposed to sunlight, for as little as 15 minutes. Including them in your diet can help support bone health and immune function, especially during times when sunlight exposure is limited.
