These grilled mushrooms on skewers will be one of your summertime favorites! It’s a simple recipe and will make you want to head right out and buy a bunch of mushrooms.
Easy and Delicious Grilled Mushrooms
- 2 pounds mushrooms, button or cremini
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper
Slice the mushrooms into about ¼” slices (on an average sized mushroom, I cut them into thirds). Mix the rest of the ingredients together in a container or Ziploc bag. Add the mushrooms and marinate for 30 minutes.
Skewer the mushrooms and grill over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes a side, until they are tender and slightly charred. Serve with just about anything and enjoy!
My verdict:
These were great! Since there were just two of us (and we didn’t know how delicious they would be) I only bought a pound of mushrooms but kept to the same quantity of marinade ingredients above.
We had them as a side dish and then I tossed some of the leftovers on some burgers we made the next day.
Being curious and impatient, I started to eat them before they were even grilled, and they were terrific. I’m not sure that eating them straight from the marinade was a good idea, but I survived and put some of the bits that were too small to skewer on a salad for lunch the next day.
If you don’t have a grill, a hot oven (425°) and a sheet tray would probably work fine and of course, a grill pan would too.
The thyme is a small amount and could be forgotten if you didn’t have any, or swapped out for some rosemary. Please don’t use dried thyme, it’s noxious and will ruin the dish. Better to go without.
Off to toss some more on the grill!
