Whether you're counting points or simply craving a healthier burger alternative, this recipe is a delicious way to enjoy a meat-free meal that's both wholesome and packed with flavor.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Gently clean the portobello mushroom caps with a damp paper towel and remove the stems.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Brush the marinade over both sides of each portobello mushroom cap, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Grill the mushrooms for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until tender and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.
In another small bowl, mix the light mayonnaise and chopped basil until well combined to create the basil mayo.
Lightly toast the whole wheat buns on the grill if desired, about 1-2 minutes.
Assemble the burgers by spreading 1 tablespoon of basil mayo on the bottom half of each bun.
Layer the grilled portobello mushroom caps, a tomato slice, a lettuce leaf, and a red onion slice on each bun.
Top with the other half of the bun, serve immediately, and enjoy!
