Equipment
Ingredients
- 500 g mushrooms, portobello mushrooms preferably, sliced
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp tamari, or Japanese soy sauce
- 1 tbsp pure date syrup
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp liquid smoke
- 2 tsp white miso paste
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp beetroot powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the extra-virgin olive oil, tamari, pure date syrup, red wine vinegar, liquid smoke, white miso paste, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, beetroot powder, and freshly ground black pepper, until a smooth soft paste has formed.
Baked
- Preheat the oven to 200ยบC/392ยบF.
- Place the sliced mushrooms in the bowl with the marinade, and using your hands, mix well until they're all coated.
- Place the marinated mushroom slices over an oven-safe baking or cooling rack directly placed on top of a parchment paper-lined baking tray. Make sure to spread the mushrooms into an even layer, and that the mushrooms are not touching each other.
- Bake on the top third rack of the oven for 15-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Pan-Fried
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in mushroom slices in a single layer until you fill the skillet. Work in batches and fry for 5 to 10 minutes until golden on both sides. Don't stir the mushrooms too much, only flip when they are already golden.
- Serve immediately with your favourite dishes. Our favourite way is on top of an avocado toast, yum! Enjoy!!
Notes
- Store in the refrigerator, in a sealed container, for up to 3 days.
