While the cashews soak, whisk together the olive oil, tamari, balsamic vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper in a shallow bowl or baking sheet large enough to hold the mushroom caps in a single layer. Add the portobello caps gill-side up, spoon the marinade over them, and let them sit for 15–20 minutes, turning once halfway through.
