Roasted Portobello Mushrooms

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This is the easiest and tastiest way to make roasted portobello mushrooms!

A plate filled with portobello mushrooms.

I love the meatiness of roasted Portobello mushrooms but sometimes I just don’t have the time or inclination to marinate them before roasting them in the oven. Luckily, there’s a quick and dirty method that does the trick.

Once these ‘shrooms are roasted, I slice them up and drizzle on my favorite vinegar or spritz on some lemon or lime juice. Voila!  Easy and tasty side dish! Alternatively, you can use the caps as “bread” for Paleo sandwiches since they come out nice and flat.

Time to make Roasted Portobello Mushrooms!

Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • 4 large Portobello mushrooms, wiped clean with a damp cloth or paper towel
  • melted ghee, melted coconut oil, or your favorite fat
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • Sunny Paris seasoning or your favorite chopped fresh herbs (optional)
  • Lemon or lime juice or your favorite vinegar

Equipment:

  • All of my recommended kitchen tools are listed here.

Method:

Preheat the oven to 400°F and place an aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheet on the middle rack.

Grab the mushrooms, remove the stems…

After 10 minutes of roasting, flip the mushrooms and then cook them for an additional 10 minutes (20 minutes total).

When the mushrooms are done roasting, slice them up and squeeze on some lemon juice. (If you are adding minced fresh herbs, do it now!)

Or you can keep them whole and use them as hamburger buns for Big-O Bacon Burgers or Nomster Burgers!

    Delicious and simple! Perfect for a Whole 30. I served mine with a side salad. I only wish I would have doubled the recipe! Nomnom paleo recipes never stir me wrong.

    How long would these mushrooms last after cooking in the fridge?

    I LOVE roasted Portobello, so I can’t wait to try these! And thank you for tip on the Sunny in Paris seasoning. It sounds like an amazing spice blend – definitely heading to a Penzey’s to pick it up! One question, do you need to do anything special for the caps if you are using them for buns? Mushrooms have so much water in them, I would be afraid they would come out too wet to handle.

      Portobellos aren’t too waterlogged—just make sure you roast until most of the moisture has been baked off.

    Why do you need to remove gills?

      It keeps the mushrooms from discoloring and makes them taste better (in my opinion).
