Ingredients
- 4 large caps Portabella mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
Directions
Step 1
1. Clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently brushing off any dirt with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and use a spoon to scrape out the gills if desired.
Step 2
2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Step 3
3. Place the mushroom caps in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Make sure each cap is well-coated. Let the mushrooms marinate for at least 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
Step 4
4. Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
5. Remove the mushrooms from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them on the preheated grill, gill side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until tender and slightly charred.
Step 6
6. During the last minute of grilling, brush the tops of the mushrooms generously with BBQ sauce.
Step 7
7. Remove the mushrooms from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Optionally, slice the mushrooms and serve them on top of salads, in sandwiches, or as a standalone side dish.
