Place pepper halves on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 15 minutes or until blackened, turning occasionally. Remove from grill, let cool and slice into strips.

Place mushrooms, gill-sides down, on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 4 minutes on each side. Place buns, cut-sides down, on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 30 seconds on each side or until toasted.

Spread 1 tbsp pesto mayo on bottom half of each bun followed by mushroom cap, a few slices of bell pepper and a heavy pinch of sprouts. Cover with top halves of buns and serve.
