Ingredients
  

  • 4 large portobello mushrooms stems removed
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons California extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 1/3 teaspoon sea salt

Method
 

  1. Rinse the portobellos gently under cool water, then pat them dry with paper towels. Snap off the stems and use a fork to prick the caps all over to help the marinade soak in.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sriracha, and salt until well combined.
  3. Spoon the marinade evenly over the mushroom caps, turning to coat both sides. Let them sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  4. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the mushrooms gill-side up on the hot pan and cook for about 5 minutes. Flip them over and continue grilling for another 4 to 5 minutes, brushing with any leftover marinade if you like, until tender and nicely charred.

Notes

For a milder kick, reduce the sriracha to 1/2 teaspoon. Store leftover mushrooms in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or back on the grill until warmed through. Avoid over-marinating more than 30 minutes to keep the texture firm. Serve as a side with grilled steak or tucked into a bun for a vegetarian burger. The mushrooms can be grilled on an outdoor barbecue for extra smoky flavor.
