Portobello Mushroom Nutrition Benefits 

Excellent Source of Fiber

Packed with B Vitamins 

We need those B vitamins to help us metabolize macronutrients, aid the nervous system and even produce hormones.

Ingredients Needed To Make This Grilled Portobello Mushroom Steak Bowl

How To Make This Grilled Portobello Mushroom Steak Bowl

Tips For Making This Grilled Portobello Mushroom Steak Bowl 

There are a couple of tips you should keep in mind that will help you store, add versatility, and enjoy this delicious nourish bowl.

Try Spreading Your Dressing On The Plate

We traditionally think of dressings as toppers, right? Well this time, try something a bit different. When you’re arranging your ingredients intentionally on top, you can spread your dressing on the bottom of the plate to ensure every bite has a boost of your flavor factor! 

Prep Your Ingredients In Advance

Looking to speed up the prep time a bit? You can chop up and prepare your vegetables in advance so you have a little less work on your hands when you decide to grill your Portobello Mushroom Steak Bowl. Save the seasoning until right before you toss everything on the grill! This will ensure you preserve the texture and turgor of the vegetables. 

FAQ About How To Make This Grilled Portobello Mushroom Steak Bowl

What if I don’t like Balsamic Vinaigrette?

Don’t sweat it! Balsamic vinaigrette isn’t for everyone, and that’s perfectly fine. Simply opt for your favorite Flavor Factor dressing instead, such as our Honey Mustard Dressing!

What if I don’t have a grill?

That’s quite alright! You can simply throw these same vegetables on a cookie sheet and grill them in the oven instead. Use whatever is readily available to you!
