Smoky Portobello Veggie Burgers - FOOD PHOTO SHOOT

Smoky Portobello Veggie Burgers-3.jpg

It’s long past time for some burgers.

I’m writing this post from Montana where I’m camping with my sis. I say “camping” because we’re staying in a dry cabin but to me that’s pretty close to camping. We had to bring basically everything we needed aside from a shelter. That means bedding, towels, etc. We’re going to be hiking to some waterfalls tomorrow and maybe rafting down the river. I’m so excited to share it all but for now I’m sharing a recent recipe while I continue gathering good content from this trip. Also, the WI-FI is horrible so if I manage to get this post up it'll be a miracle.

So did you know you could turn a plain old mushroom into something nearly unrecognizable? And before anyone starts talking about how far from a burger these actually are, I know. It’s not like they’re trying to impersonate a regular burger, it’s just that they’re a fun and creative alternative to layer on a sandwich like this. Plus, they look pretty freakin’ delicious with all the toppings.

The key is to make them super flavorful so that everything else is just adding to the yumminess of the full thing. And again, this isn’t me sitting here saying these are exactly like a burger because they’re not. What they are though, is a great way to enjoy all the things you love about a burger in a new way. Also, did I mention how easy these are.

Here’s all you do; Mix together a few simple ingredients to coat them and either brush it on or dip them in it. Then you bake for about 25 or 30 minutes and you’re ready to load ’em up onto your buns. Don’t forget to add all of your favorite condiments to make these both look and taste incredible.

You can also cook these on a grill for a Summer barbecue and right now I’m even wondering how they’d be over an open fire. Too bad I didn’t think to bring the ingredients to make them while camping. If I do decide to try that later I’ll be sure to let you know. Okay, so you’ve got to try these and I’ve gotta go so that we can get set up for the night. See you soon.

Smoky Portobello Veggie Burgers


Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Yield: 2 burgers

Ingredients

The Burgers:
2 large portobello mushroom caps
2 tablespoons sugar free ketchup
2 teaspoons liquid smoke
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons maple syrup
The Other Stuff:
2 sesame buns
lettuce leaves
sliced tomato
sliced onion
Chao cheese (or any dairy-free brand you prefer)
mustard, ketchup, pickles.......

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 C) and line a baking tray with foil.
Stir together the sauce ingredients for the mushrooms and either dip them into it and turn to coat, or brush it onto them. Place the sauce coated mushrooms on a tray to bake and remove the stems to lay separate (I don't throw them away because they are great on the side.).
Bake for 25 to 35 minutes until the mushrooms have shrunken and darkened a lot. Remove from oven and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes. Then assemble your "burgers" on the buns with any other toppings that you like and enjoy!

greetings, beautiful and charming gringalicious

I don't even like looking at these pictures, because I'm on a diet. I've gained about 10 kilos. I reduced almost 100% intake of sweets and decreased to carbohydrates hehehe.

I hope I reach my goals. However, since you are not making arrangements, fortunately, I wish you good food there.

Thank you and good night!

It looks very delicious and made me hungry.

@gringalicious that beautiful adventure, spend a few days in a cabin is very fun, no doubt you have fun with your sister.
This recipe is ideal for my granddaughter and my youngest son are lovers of hamburgers.
Although you emphasize that they are hamburgers, they look like them and my children eat them because of their appearance.
