Clean the portobello mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Carefully remove the stems without damaging the cap.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, chopped thyme, chopped rosemary, black pepper, and lemon juice to make the marinade.
Place the mushroom caps in a shallow dish, gill side up. Spoon the marinade evenly over all the mushrooms, ensuring the gills are well-coated. Let them marinate for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Preheat your grill or a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
Once the grill is hot, place the marinated mushrooms on the grill, gill side down first. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
Remove the mushrooms from the grill and let them rest for a minute. Slice or serve them whole, as desired.
Enjoy these heart-healthy grilled portobello mushrooms as a main dish or a side with your favorite whole grains or salads.
