Clean the portobello mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and use a spoon to gently scrape out the gills for a cleaner finish.
In a small mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, minced garlic from 2 cloves, 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves, 1 teaspoon of fresh rosemary leaves, 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the mushroom caps in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Use your hands or a brush to distribute the marinade evenly on both sides of each mushroom. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated mushrooms on the preheated grill, gill side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side or until the mushrooms are tender and have nice grill marks.
Once cooked, remove the mushrooms from the grill and drizzle them with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice for a zesty finish.
Serve the grilled mushrooms immediately as a main dish or savory side, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
