How to Make Grilled Portobello Mushrooms

If you’ve never grilled portobello mushrooms before, you won’t believe how easy it is! Just follow these simple steps:

• First, clean the mushrooms. Remove the stems and use a damp towel to wipe off the caps.
• Next, season them. Drizzle the portobellos generously with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and tamari, and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Use your hands to make sure they’re fully coated – it’ll be a little messy, but the better coated they are, the more flavorful they’ll be.
• Finally, cook! Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Put on the mushrooms, starting with the gill side up. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, until grill marks form on the smooth side of the caps and the mushrooms are tender.
