Portabella Mushroom Burger
This recipe is a homage to my favorite restaurant, Greens, in San Francisco. They offer a vegetarian menu that is so delightful you do not have to be vegetarian to enjoy it. This burger is made with portabella mushrooms and roasted veggies.
Ingredients

- 1 whole wheat bun
- 1 cup arugula or kale (or leafy green of choice)
- assorted veggies onions, tomato, eggplant
- Ketchup
- Salad dressing

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, lightly spray a non-stick baking tray with olive oil or vegetable oil spray.
- Place the portabella mushroom on the tray, then add the onion rings, sliced tomatoes, and sliced eggplant.
- Roast all of the veggies for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
- Make a delicious veggie burger by layering all of the veggies with the ketchup and salad dressing.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Chef's Tips: Feel free to "mix it up" by adding cheese or other kinds of veggies. Try to find a high quality bun for the burger; we happened to find a whole wheat brioche bun. You can add more protein or cheese or change the vegetables to suit your fancy.
