❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Grilled Portobello Mushrooms

Q: What kind of mushrooms should I use?

For this recipe, you’ll want to use large portobello mushrooms. These are actually just immature versions of the big ol’ mushrooms you find in the produce section – they’re called ‘portobellos’ because they come from Italy (where else?). Don’t worry if you can’t find them; just look for any large, flat caps with thick stems.

Q: How do I clean my mushrooms?

A little trick I learned from my grandma is to gently wipe each cap with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Don’t soak them in water – this can make them too soggy for grilling!

Q: Can I use other types of oil instead of olive oil?

Naturally! You can try using avocado oil or grapeseed oil if you like; just be sure to adjust your seasoning accordingly (since different oils have slightly different flavors). Some people swear by using lemon juice or zest to add a bit of brightness – go ahead and get adventurous if that sounds like your thing!

Q: Do I have to grill these outdoors?

Nope! If you don’t have access to an outdoor grill or prefer not to cook outside, simply preheat your broiler and cook those ‘shrooms under high heat until they’re nice and charred.
