Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large caps Portobello mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Clean the portobello mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and gills if desired for a smoother texture.
In a small bowl, mix together Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush each mushroom cap generously with olive oil on both sides.
Sprinkle the Cajun spice mixture evenly over the mushrooms, ensuring they are well coated on both sides.
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. If using a grill, preheat to medium heat.
Place the mushrooms cap-side down on the skillet or grill and cook for 5-6 minutes. Flip them and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and slightly charred.
Remove the mushrooms from the heat and let them rest for a minute. Drizzle with lemon juice and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately as a main dish, alongside rice or roasted vegetables, or as a flavorful sandwich filling.
