Broiled Portobello Mushrooms

These broiled portobello mushrooms are a quick, savory vegetarian treat.

Broiled at high heat for 5-7 minutes, they emerge tender and juicy with a lightly charred, flavorful crust. Perfect as a meaty main or a versatile side.

This dish features hearty Broiled portobello mushroom caps transformed into a savory, satisfying vegetarian delight through the magic of broiling. The preparation begins with large, meaty portobello caps—cleaned gently with a damp cloth to preserve their earthy essence and stripped of their stems for even cooking.

Each cap is then brushed generously with olive oil, imparting a subtle richness, and kissed with a splash of balsamic vinegar, which adds a tangy depth that hints at caramelization under the broiler’s heat.

Ingredients:

• 4 large portobello mushroom caps
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions:

1. Prep the Mushrooms: Wipe the mushroom caps clean with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Brush both sides with olive oil and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
2. Season: In a small bowl, mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over both sides of the mushrooms.
3. Preheat the Broiler: Set your oven’s broiler to high (around 500°F or 260°C) and preheat for 5-10 minutes. Position the oven rack 4-6 inches from the heat source.
4. Broil: Place the mushrooms gill-side up on a broiler pan or a wire rack over a baking sheet. Broil for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly charred.
5. Rest: Remove from the oven and let them sit for 2-3 minutes.
6. Serve: Serve as a main dish with couscous or quinoa, or use as a topping for burgers or salads.

Tips:

• For a cheesy twist, sprinkle with grated Parmesan or mozzarella after broiling (optional).
• Cooking time may vary slightly depending on mushroom size—check for tenderness.
