Ingredients

  • 4 whole portobello mushrooms (5-inch diameter), stems and gills removed
  • 1 tablespoon no-salt-added vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium bell peppers, any color, halved
  • 1 medium sweet onion, sliced ½-inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons brown rice vinegar
  • 1½ 15-oz. cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained (2¼ cups)
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons unsweetened, unflavored plant-based milk
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
  • 4 slices crusty whole grain bread, toasted
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line an extra-large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place mushrooms on baking sheet, stem side up. In a bowl stir together broth, soy sauce, and garlic. Brush over mushrooms. Arrange bell peppers and onion on baking sheet with mushrooms. Brush with 1 tablespoon of the vinegar. Roast 15 minutes; turn mushrooms over. Roast about 15 minutes more or until vegetables are tender and lightly browned.
  • Meanwhile, in a food processor combine beans, milk, nutritional yeast, and the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar. Process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl; stir in the 2 tablespoons chives.
  • Cut mushrooms and bell peppers into strips. Separate onion into rings. Spread bean mixture on toast. Top with vegetables. Sprinkle with black pepper and additional chives.
