Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Gently clean the portabella mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Remove the stems and use a spoon to scrape out the gills to create a cavity for the filling. Set the mushrooms aside.
Roughly chop the roasted red peppers and mince the garlic. Add them to a mixing bowl.
To the bowl, add breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the filling is well combined.
Brush the mushroom caps with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil on both sides and arrange them top-down on the prepared baking sheet.
Spoon the filling evenly into each mushroom cap, gently pressing it down to secure.
Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the stuffed mushrooms for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional parsley or Parmesan cheese if desired.
