Smoky Portobello Burger

The Smoky Portobello Burger is a hearty and satisfying plant-based alternative to traditional burgers, featuring marinated portobello mushrooms grilled to perfection. Topped with fresh veggies and a smoky sauce, it's a deliciously smoky bite that showcases the best of dairy-free cooking.

Ingredients

• Portobello mushrooms - 2 large
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Balsamic vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Whole grain burger buns - 2
• Avocado - 1, sliced
• Tomato - 1, sliced
• Lettuce leaves - 2
• Vegan mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons
• Vegan barbecue sauce - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, smoked paprika, 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. Pour the marinade over the mushrooms, ensuring they are well coated, and let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
4. After marinating, drizzle balsamic vinegar over the mushrooms.
5. Grill the mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
6. While the mushrooms are grilling, toast the whole grain burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
7. Assemble the burgers by spreading vegan mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, adding the grilled portobello mushroom, slices of avocado, tomato, and lettuce.
8. Drizzle vegan barbecue sauce on top, place the top bun, and serve immediately.
