Ingredients

• 4 whole Portobello mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cleaning the Portobello mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Carefully remove the stems and set them aside. Use a small spoon to gently scrape out the black gills under the caps to prevent them from turning bitter when grilled.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.

Step 3

Place the Portobello mushroom caps in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow baking dish. Pour the marinade over the mushrooms, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 15-20 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for more intense flavor.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan on the stovetop, heat the pan over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Remove the mushrooms from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Reserve the remaining marinade for basting if desired.

Step 6

Place the mushrooms on the grill gill side up. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side or until tender and slightly charred. While grilling, you can baste the mushrooms with the reserved marinade for extra flavor.

Step 7

Once grilled to your preference, remove the mushrooms from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve the grilled Portobello mushrooms as a side dish, or use them as a flavorful, low-carb burger bun alternative or as a hearty base for a vegetarian meal.
