Clean the portobello mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Remove the stems and use a spoon to scrape out the brown gills from the underside of the caps if desired.
In a small mixing bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, low sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, and freshly ground black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the mushroom caps in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the mushrooms, making sure to coat each cap thoroughly. Let them marinate for at least 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even coverage.
Preheat your grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated mushrooms on the preheated grill with the gill side facing up. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are tender and have developed nice grill marks.
Once grilled, remove the mushrooms from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves.
Serve the grilled portobello mushrooms as a side dish, or as a hearty filling for sandwiches or burgers.
