Portobello Mushroom BLT Sandwich [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
This Recipe is :
Serves
2Cook Time
10Ingredients
Portobello Mushroom Bacon:
- 1 thinly sliced portobello mushroom (crimini will also work)
- 3 tsp liquid smoke
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos (see notes)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp molasses (or more maple syrup, molasses adds darker notes)
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/8 tsp chili powder (or 1/4 tsp for more spice)
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp clove
Whipped Mayo:
- 3 tbsp vegan mayo
- 1 tsp dry mustard powder
Toppings:
- 1 tomato
- 2-4 romaine lettuce leaves
Bread:
- 2 slices of your favorite bread, toasted
Preparation
- Mix all of the ingredients for the portobello mushroom bacon except for the first ingredient (the mushrooms). Stir well and set aside.
- Lay the sliced mushrooms into a skillet and pour the bacon flavor mixture over the bacon.
- Cook on each side for 3-5 minutes until the mushrooms have cooked down to about half their original size or until the liquid has absorbed and browned on the mushrooms.
- While the mushrooms are browning, mix your mayo and set aside.
- Toast your Ezekiel bread (or bread of choice) and spread the mayo on each slice.
- Thinly slice the tomato and layer the tomato and lettuce leaves on the bread. Then, top with bacon.
- Enjoy!
Notes
You can also use Braggs liquid aminos (slightly more bitter, but very tasty/flavorful) or soy sauce (eliminate added salt) in place of the coconut aminos. I prefer my bacon a little lighter.
If you don’t have liquid smoke, use smoked paprika and add a little olive oil to the pan instead.
This recipe is gluten-free so make sure the bread you choose is also if that's a concern.

AUTHOR & RECIPE DETAILS
Nutrient-rich desserts with hidden healthy ingredients. One year ago, I made the decision to stop eating processed foods. My challenge: my husband is such a picky eater that he would win against a 2-year-old. Since many of my friends come to me for recipes on how to eat nutrient-rich foods, while still eating what they like, I decided to start a food blog, Foodscape. Every Friday I launch a new family-friendly recipe that even the pickiest eaters will eat.
