Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Portabella mushroom caps
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 4 slices Optional cheese slices (e.g., provolone or cheddar)
Instructions
Gently wipe the portabella mushroom caps with a damp paper towel to clean them. Remove the stems if still attached.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Place the mushroom caps in a shallow dish or a zip-lock bag. Pour the marinade over the mushrooms, making sure they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Slice the tomato into four thick slices and the red onion into thin rings. Set them aside for assembly.
Place the marinated portabella mushrooms on the preheated grill, gill-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until tender and slightly charred. If using cheese, place a slice on top of each mushroom during the last 2 minutes of cooking to allow it to melt.
Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster for 1-2 minutes until slightly golden.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
Assemble the burgers by layering a lettuce leaf, a grilled portabella mushroom cap, a slice of tomato, and red onion rings on each bun. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes like sweet potato fries or a fresh salad.
