Portobello Mushroom Burger

This vegan Portobello Mushroom Burger is so delicious that you will forget it’s actually healthy! Paired with vegan garlic aioli and fresh toppings, you will have a family favorite. So simple, you can grill in on the stovetop or outside on the bbq on a nice day. Now trust me, I have a huge collection of my favorite vegan burger patty recipes, but I always go back to these portobello steaks, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Let’s make a Portobello Mushroom Burger!

First, we need to clean and gill the mushrooms. I just use a clean, highly damp, paper towel and wipe the mushrooms. Then I use a small spoon to de-step and scrape out some of the gills underneath. Marinate the mushrooms for at least 5 minutes up to 12 hours. You can prepare them the night before. If you are making the garlic aioli sauce (and I highly suggest you do) this can also be prepared a day ahead of time. Now these portobello steaks only need to cook for about 4 minutes on each side, so you will want to have any other side dishes or toppings ready to go!

Speaking of toppings, where do I start! Everybody has their personal favorites. As pictured in this recipe, I have Vegan Garlic Aioli, grilled red onion and fresh tomato and lettuce. I like to add some sriracha to the aioli for a little kick. You can make this California style and add sprouts and avocado. Or you can go cowboy and use bbq sauce, jalapeño and crispy onion stings, options are endless–and fun! When I have guests over, I like to do a little ‘burger bar’ and have the toppings available as a self serve. Whichever way you serve these up, it’s going to be a hit!
