Directions
Step 1
Clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently wiping with a damp paper towel, and remove the stems if needed.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, soy sauce, salt, and pepper into a marinade.
Step 3
Brush the marinade generously over both sides of the mushroom caps and let them sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

While the mushrooms are marinating, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Grill the marinated mushroom caps for 4-5 minutes on each side until tender and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.

Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 7
Spread a thin layer of vegan mayo or aioli on the bottom half of each bun.
Step 8
Layer the lettuce leaves, grilled mushroom caps, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, and red onion rings onto each bun.
Step 9
Finish with the top bun, pressing gently to hold the burger together.
