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)
Mushrooms and Buns
- 2 portobello mushroom caps (about 1/2 lb total)
- 2 buns
Optional Toppings
- 1 cup spring mix
- 1 tomato
- 1/4 red onion, sliced into rings
- 4 Tbsp mayonnaise
Instructions
- Prepare Marinade: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and freshly cracked pepper. Stir well to blend all ingredients.
- Marinate Mushrooms: Remove the stems from the portobello mushrooms. Place the mushrooms gill side up in a shallow dish. Pour some marinade into the gills, then flip and pour the remaining marinade on the top. Marinate for 30 minutes, flipping occasionally to ensure even absorption.
- Preheat Grill: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium to medium-high heat until hot and ready for cooking.
- Grill Mushrooms: Add the marinated mushrooms to the grill. Cook for about 7 minutes on each side, or until the mushrooms are tender and most of their liquid has released.
- Assemble Burgers: Place each grilled portobello cap on a bun and add your preferred toppings such as mayonnaise, sliced tomato, onion rings, and spring mix or lettuce.
Notes
- Save the mushroom stems to chop into an omelette or freeze with vegetable scraps for homemade vegetable stock.
- For a vegan version, substitute mayonnaise with vegan mayo.
- Use gluten-free buns to make the recipe gluten free.
- You can add cheese or other favorite burger toppings as desired.
- Grilling the mushrooms releases their natural juices and enhances flavor.
