Recipe for Grilled Portabello Mushrooms:

Prepare your grill, getting the heat to at least 400 degrees. While you’re waiting, brush your mushrooms with a little olive oil and salt and pepper. Once the heat is ready, place your mushrooms top side down, the stem pointing up. Let that grill for a bit, like 10 or so minutes. Mushrooms take some time to cook down.

Grilling Mushrooms

We eat these as is, but you could add them to a bun making it complete as a portabello burger. Portabellos have a very meaty flavor and are thick, so they can be used to replace a traditional meat ingredient. My kids love these, eating them up and wanting more. Have fun trying these on the grill!

  1. Hi Marie, the recipe Grilled Portabello Mushrooms is a nice recipe. Its very simple to do and you have done a great job in posting it. Nice way of explaining the steps to do it. Its a time consuming process too.

  2. What a simple recipe! I love how it uses ingredients that most of us have in our fridge. A nice sprinkle of Italian seasoning over the tomato would add a nice kick. Thanks for sharing!
