Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 4 large portobello mushrooms, stems removed
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 whole-grain slider buns
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1 cup arugula or spinach
• Zest of 1 orange and 1 lemon for garnish

Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk together orange juice, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Place portobello mushrooms in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over, making sure they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated mushrooms for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
4. While the mushrooms are grilling, toast the slider buns on the grill until lightly golden.
5. Assemble the sliders by placing a grilled portobello on each bun, topping with slices of avocado and a handful of arugula or spinach.
6. Garnish with orange and lemon zest before serving, and enjoy your zesty sliders!

Notes

Tip: For a spicy kick, add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of sriracha to the sliders.

For the best flavor, marinate the portobello mushrooms for at least 30 minutes before grilling. If you don’t have orange juice, feel free to substitute with lemon or lime juice for a different citrus twist. To keep the sliders gluten-free, use lettuce wraps or gluten-free buns.

Leftover grilled mushrooms can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them on the grill or in a skillet for a quick meal. These sliders also make great additions to salads or grain bowls!
