Portobello Mushroom Strips with Juicy Pineapple and Onions

Portobello mushrooms are often substituted for traditional steak, and for good reason. They have a deep, umami flavor and a rich, satisfying texture. Pair portobellos with pineapple and onions and get ready for a burst of flavor. Bonus: Portobello mushrooms are a good source of selenium, potassium, and copper — key minerals for optimal health.

Chef's Notes

Substitutions
Button mushrooms would work well here, too.

Fresh, canned, or frozen (unsweetened) pineapple and its juice will all work well here, so feel free to use whatever you have on hand or can access.

These would also be delicious cooked outside on the grill or sauteed in a pan on the stovetop.

Layer it up
Serve the mushrooms, pineapples, and onions, including the marinade left in the baking dish, on top of your favorite organic grain and a plant-based protein like organic edamame, grilled tofu or tempeh.

Serve on top of a bed of sauteed organic spinach or kale.

Add to a collard or organic, whole-grain sprouted tortilla wrap with grilled organic tempeh or tofu and some greens for a complete meal.

Sugar-free
Omit the maple syrup and use an extra 1–2 teaspoons of pineapple juice.
