Tips: To make this recipe even healthier, you can use balsamic glaze instead of balsamic vinegar and omit the Worcestershire sauce. You can also add your favorite grilling vegetables to the grill while cooking the mushrooms.

One of my favorite things about this recipe is that it’s incredibly easy to reheat and serve – simply grill the remaining mushrooms until they’re tender and serve alongside your favorite sides or as a topping for salads or sandwiches.

You can also store leftover grilled portobello mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 2 months – simply thaw and reheat when you’re ready to enjoy them again.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Grilled Portobello Mushrooms

To prevent charring, make sure to oil the grill grates before adding the mushrooms and keep an eye on them while they’re grilling – you can always move them to a cooler part of the grill if they start to get too dark.
