Why do I need to scoop out the gills from the portobello mushrooms?

Scooping out the gills helps prevent the mushrooms from becoming too watery during grilling and allows the marinade to penetrate more effectively into the mushroom cap.

Can I marinate the portobello mushrooms for longer than 30 minutes?

While 30 minutes is sufficient for these mushrooms to absorb flavor, you can marinate them for up to a few hours in the refrigerator for a deeper taste, but avoid marinating overnight as they can become too soft.

What's the best way to grill these marinated portobello mushrooms?

Heat your grill until hot, then skewer two mushrooms per skewer and place them face down. Grill each side for about 2 minutes, or until they are nicely browned, basting with any leftover marinade.

Can I use regular soy sauce instead of low-sodium soy sauce or tamari?

Yes, you can use regular soy sauce, but keep in mind it will increase the sodium content of the dish. If using regular soy sauce, you might want to adjust other seasonings to taste.

What is the purpose of nutritional yeast in this marinade?

Nutritional yeast adds a subtle cheesy, umami depth to the marinade, enhancing the savory flavor profile of the grilled portobello mushrooms.
