BBQ Portobello Burgers

BBQ Portobello Burgers are a hearty, flavorful plant-based alternative to traditional burgers, featuring meaty portobello mushrooms marinated in a smoky barbecue sauce. Grilled to perfection and served with fresh toppings, these burgers are perfect for a summer cookout or a satisfying weeknight meal.

Ingredients

• Portobello mushrooms - 2 large
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• BBQ sauce - 4 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Burger buns - 2
• Avocado - 1, sliced
• Fresh spinach - 1 cup
• Tomato - 1, sliced
• Red onion - 1/4, thinly sliced

Steps

1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, BBQ sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
3. Remove the stems from the portobello mushrooms and place them gill-side up in a shallow dish.
4. Brush the marinade generously over the mushrooms, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.
5. Place the marinated portobello mushrooms on the grill, gill-side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
6. During the last few minutes of grilling, toast the burger buns on the grill until lightly golden.
7. Assemble the burgers by placing a grilled portobello mushroom on each bun, then top with avocado slices, fresh spinach, tomato slices, and red onion.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your BBQ Portobello Burgers!
