- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Clean the portobello mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and gills if desired for a smoother texture.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Brush each mushroom cap generously with olive oil on both sides.
Step 4
Sprinkle the Cajun spice mixture evenly over the mushrooms, ensuring they are well coated on both sides.
Step 5
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. If using a grill, preheat to medium heat.
Step 6
Place the mushrooms cap-side down on the skillet or grill and cook for 5-6 minutes. Flip them and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and slightly charred.
Step 7
Remove the mushrooms from the heat and let them rest for a minute. Drizzle with lemon juice and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a main dish, alongside rice or roasted vegetables, or as a flavorful sandwich filling.
