Mushrooms are elevated to another level in this BBQ Mushroom Sandwich. BBQ seasoning and BBQ sauce transform mushrooms with sweet, smoky, and spicy flavors.
This vegan BBQ sandwich is a great alternative to pulled pork. It is hearty and comforting.
Top it with coleslaw or sliced pineapple. I like it with pineapple because it balances out the spicy flavors nicely.
If you love mushrooms, some other mushroom recipes to add to your repertoire are Portobello Fajitas and Vegan Lasagna with Mushrooms.
For added flavor try this recipe on some Roasted Garlic Focaccia. Serve it with my Healthy Onion Rings, Healthy Tater Tots, or Vegan Broccoli Tots recipe.

🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Cook onions until translucent.
Step 2: Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Step 3: Add mushrooms. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes.
Step 4: Add BBQ seasoning, salt, pepper, and BBQ sauce. Stir to combine. Cook a couple more minutes.
💭 Tips
- Add salt at the end of cooking. Salt brings out moisture in the mushrooms.
- Don't clean mushrooms until you're ready to cook them.
- I like to wipe them with a damp towel. Keep in mind they soak up water and can get waterlogged, so if you wash them make sure to dry them completely.
