Gf Italian Portobello Sandwich Recipe

GF Bar Favorites

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the gluten-free rolls on a baking sheet and lightly toast them for 4–5 minutes until just golden. Remove and set aside.

2. 2

   Prepare the portobello mushrooms: wipe clean with a damp cloth, remove the stems, and pat dry. Brush the mushroom caps with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper on both sides.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, whisk together minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, Italian seasoning, and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add red pepper flakes if using; this becomes the mushroom marinade.

4. 4

   Let the mushrooms rest in the marinade for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

5. 5

   Roast and melt: place the marinated mushrooms on a lined baking sheet. Roast for 8–10 minutes, then flip. Top each mushroom with 1–2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella and continue roasting for 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. 6

   Assemble the sandwich: spread a bed of spinach or arugula on the bottom gluten-free roll. Add a tomato slice and a few basil leaves. Place a cheese-topped portobello cap on top, then crown with more basil and the top half of the roll.

7. 7

   Serve immediately while warm. Optional: pair with a simple side salad or gluten-free chips for a complete GF Bar Favorites bite.
