    Broiled portobello mushrooms are a perfect plant-based substitute for burgers and meaty sandwiches. They are easy to prepare and hold up well compared to the mushy tendencies of some veggie burgers. Grain-filled veggie burgers can also make a roll redundant. Portobellos are a good way to go when you crave that sink-your-teeth-into-a-burger-on-a-bun dining experience. This Loaded Portobello Mushroom Sandwich is sure to satisfy that craving!

    Health Benefits of Portobello Mushrooms

    Convenience and satisfaction aside, portobellos are also a healthy choice. They are:

    • High in fiber and low in calories
    • Low in fat with a balance of protein and carbs
    • A good source of potassium, phosphorus and B vitamins

    Some folks like to get fancy by marinating portobellos before broiling or grilling. I favor simplicity and often broil them plain. The toppings in this Loaded Portobello Mushroom Sandwich add plenty of flavor. The natural mushroom taste is enhanced by:

    • Nutty kale avocado mash
    • Sharp red onion
    • Tangy tomato
    • Garlicky cheesy vegan parmesan hummus

    You can make this nutrition and flavor-packed sandwich in about 20 minutes!

    Loaded Portobello Mushroom Sandwich

    This vegan and gluten-free recipe is packed with flavor and healthy ingredients.
    Prep Time 10 minutes
    Cook Time 20 minutes
    Total Time 30 minutes
    Servings 1

    Ingredients

    • 1 portobello mushroom stem removed
    • 2 slices sprouted grain or gluten-free bread lightly toasted if desired
    • ½ avocado peeled
    • ½ cup baby kale or baby spinach
    • ½ tsp. lemon juice
    • 1 slice tomato
    • 1-2 slices red onion
    • 2 Tbsp. vegan parmesan hummus - see recipe
    • cooking spray

    Instructions

    • Lightly coat broil pan with cooking spray and broil portobello mushroom approximately 10 minutes on each side or until mushroom is tender. (Broiling in a toaster oven works great!)
    • While mushroom is cooking, add baby spinach or baby kale to a food processor fitted with the S blade and pulse to chop finely.
    • Add avocado and lemon juice to food processor and pulse to chop and mix with baby greens.
    • Place broiled mushroom, stem side down, on a paper towel for a minute to remove excess moisture.
    • Spread vegan parmesan hummus on one slice of bread.
    • Place broiled portobello mushroom on the hummus coated slice of bread and top with tomato, onion, kale avocado mash and remaining slice of bread.

     Note: I do not include nutrition information with my recipes because I subscribe to the theories presented in the book Whole and believe we should focus on eating a variety of whole foods instead of counting calories or keeping track of individual nutrients.
