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, sliced
- 1/4 red onion, sliced into rings
- 4 Tbsp mayonnaise
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, stir 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 the mushrooms: Remove the stems from the portobello mushroom caps. Place the mushrooms in a shallow dish, gill sides up. Pour some of the marinade into the gills, then flip the mushrooms over and pour the rest of the marinade on top. Let the mushrooms marinate for 30 minutes, flipping occasionally to ensure even flavor.
- Cook the mushrooms: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium to medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated portobello mushrooms and cook for about 7 minutes on each side, or until the mushrooms are tender and have released most of their liquid.
- Assemble the burgers: Place the cooked mushrooms on the buns and add your preferred toppings such as mayonnaise, sliced tomato, onion rings, and spring mix or lettuce. Serve immediately and enjoy your marinated portobello mushroom burgers.
Notes
- You can save the mushroom stems to chop and add to an omelette or freeze them with other vegetable scraps to make vegetable stock later.
- If you prefer a vegan option, substitute mayonnaise with a plant-based alternative.
- For added smoky flavor, consider using smoked salt or additional smoked paprika in the marinade.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the grill to ensure the mushrooms cook evenly.
- Allow mushrooms to rest for a couple of minutes after cooking to retain juiciness.
