Grilled Portobello Burgers

Grilled Portobello Burgers are a hearty and flavorful vegan alternative to traditional burgers, featuring meaty portobello mushrooms marinated in a smoky BBQ sauce. Served on a toasted bun with fresh toppings, they make for a satisfying meal perfect for summer cookouts.

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 - 1/4 teaspoon
• Whole grain burger buns - 2
• Lettuce leaves - 2
• Tomato - 1 medium, sliced
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced

Steps

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, BBQ sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Clean the portobello mushrooms and remove the stems. Brush the marinade generously over both sides of each mushroom.
4. Place the portobello mushrooms on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.

6. Assemble the burgers by placing a grilled portobello on each bun, topped with lettuce, tomato slices, avocado, and red onion.
7. Serve immediately with extra BBQ sauce on the side, if desired.
