- 0.5 tsp salt Essential for boosting flavors.
- 0.25 tsp black pepper Adds a touch of heat.

Instructions
Preparation
- Rinse the Portobello mushrooms gently under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel and remove the stems.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture generously over both sides of the mushroom caps.
Cooking
- Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Place the mushrooms cap-side down and cook for about 5-7 minutes.
- Flip the mushrooms and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until they are tender and juicy.
- While the mushrooms are cooking, slice the burger buns in half. Place them on the grill or in a toaster until golden and slightly crispy.
Assembly
- Place a cooked Portobello mushroom on each toasted bun half. Add your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, or avocado.
- Top with the other half of the buns, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
Consider adding marinaded grilled peppers or a slice of creamy avocado on top. A sprinkle of feta or goat cheese can enhance flavors.
