Grilled Portobello Mushrooms are a scrumptious, low carb, grilling staple. We cut them into strips so they’ll soak up the white wine marinade AND cook more evenly than whole mushrooms. Use portobello mushrooms for a side dish, or as a natural meat substitute for sandwiches and wraps.
Grilled Portobello Mushrooms
When grilling season hits, you need an easy, meatless griller that’s inexpensive, not processed, and downright delish.
This simple recipe calls for a quick, white wine marinade (who doesn’t love THAT?!) and about 15 minutes on the grill.
Once these babies are grilled, you can use them for sandwiches, wraps, and salads. The sky’s the limit!
Here’s what we LOVE about this recipe:
- It’s vegetarian…actually, it’s vegan and gluten-free.
- The marinade uses mostly white wine and water for the liquid, so we use less oil…bonus!
- The marinating process takes only 30 minutes (but you can marinate up to 8 hours if you like).
- Grilling the mushrooms takes under 15 minutes…and they’re so. dang. delicious!
- You can eat these mushrooms warm or cold. Trust me, they rock either way.
- They’re a nutritious, vegan meal prep item.
How to make portobello mushrooms on the grill
Step 1. Whisk together the marinade ingredients
Step 2. Clean the mushrooms, slice them into 1″ think pieces, and place them in a baking dish.
Step 3. Marinate the mushrooms by pouring the marinade over them and allowing them to sit for 30 minutes (no need to refrigerate).
Step 4. Fire up the grill to medium-high and, when it’s ready, grill the mushrooms in a prepared grill basket for 10-15 minute, tossing as needed to avoid burning.
I love this Weber Grill Basket because it prevents the veggies from falling through the grill. You can live without it, but it’s a really convenient tool.
Step 5. Carefully remove the grill basket and transfer the mushrooms to a plate or pan to cool

How to serve grilled portobello mushrooms
- eat it with your fingers…you’ll feel that helpless
- stuffed inside sandwich wraps with other vegetables
- as a meat substitute for just about anything (even spring rolls!)
- as a mini steak over polenta, rice, pasta, or quinoa, and topped with your favorite sauce
We make this recipe twice a month because we love Portobello mushrooms, grilling, and eating vegetarian as often as possible.
So, I hope you’ll jump on board with this idea and make your meatless meals even easier.
