  • 1 tablespoon thyme leaves fresh or 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • kosher or sea salt to taste

  • Spray the grates of the grill with canola oil cooking spray. Then, preheat to medium temperature.
  • Clean portabello mushroom caps by wiping with a damp paper towel.

  • Place portobello mushrooms on the grill. Cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes on the other side. Portobellos should be tender.

STOVETOP METHOD

  • Heat a griddle to 400 degrees or a non-stick skillet to medium-high heat, cook mushrooms approximately 4 minutes per side or until tender and slightly browned.
  • Top each bun with the mushroom, followed by the onion, tomato, lettuce and condiments of choice. If you would like to add roasted bell peppers, see the video below.
