Ingredients
Scale
Marinade
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp oregano
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- freshly cracked pepper (about 10 cranks)
Main Ingredients
- 2 portobello mushroom caps (about 1/2 lb. total), stems removed
- 2 buns
Optional Toppings
- 1 cup spring mix
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1/4 red onion, sliced into rings
- 4 Tbsp mayonnaise
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and freshly cracked pepper until well combined.
- Marinate mushrooms: Remove the stems from the portobello mushrooms. Place the mushroom caps gill side up in a shallow dish. Pour some marinade into the gills, then flip the mushrooms and pour the rest of the marinade over the tops. Let them marinate for 30 minutes, flipping occasionally to ensure even absorption.
- Heat grill: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium to medium-high heat until hot and ready for cooking.
- Cook mushrooms: Place the marinated portobello mushrooms on the grill and cook for about 7 minutes on each side. Grill until mushrooms are soft and have released most of their liquid.
- Assemble burgers: Place each cooked mushroom cap on a bun and add your preferred toppings such as mayonnaise, sliced tomato, onion rings, and spring mix. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- You can save the mushroom stems to chop and add later to an omelette for extra flavor.
- Alternatively, save mushroom stems with other vegetable scraps in the freezer for making vegetable stock.
- Use gluten-free buns to make this recipe gluten-free if needed.
- Customize toppings to your preference, such as adding cheese or pickles for extra flavor.
