Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large Portobello mushrooms, stems removed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 cup fresh arugula
- 4 whole-grain burger buns, toasted
- Optional: vegan mayo or hummus for spreading
Instructions
- Clean and marinate the Portobello mushrooms by whisking together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Brush over mushrooms and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Grill the mushrooms gill-side down for 4-5 minutes per side until tender and slightly charred.
- While mushrooms cook, slice the avocado and wash the arugula.
- Assemble burgers by spreading vegan mayo or hummus on toasted buns, then layering grilled mushrooms, avocado, and arugula.
Notes
- Marinate mushrooms longer (up to 30 minutes) for deeper flavor.
- Use fresh, ripe avocados for the best texture.
- For gluten-free options, serve on lettuce wraps instead of buns.
- Add vegan cheese or roasted red peppers for extra flavor.
