Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large caps Portabella mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 0.5 cup (chopped) Sun-dried tomatoes
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh basil leaves
- 1 small (sliced into rings) Red onion
- 4 large leaves Lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces Vegan or regular burger buns
- 0.25 cup Vegan mayo or aioli
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently wiping with a damp paper towel, and remove the stems if needed.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, soy sauce, salt, and pepper into a marinade.
Brush the marinade generously over both sides of the mushroom caps and let them sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While the mushrooms are marinating, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Grill the marinated mushroom caps for 4-5 minutes on each side until tender and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.
Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
Spread a thin layer of vegan mayo or aioli on the bottom half of each bun.
Layer the lettuce leaves, grilled mushroom caps, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, and red onion rings onto each bun.
Finish with the top bun, pressing gently to hold the burger together.
Serve immediately and enjoy your smoky homemade portabella burgers!
