Ingredients & Variations
MUSHROOMS: Standard white or brown mushrooms (AKA cremini) are preferred because of their uniform size. Cut the larger whole mushrooms in half, if necessary. Whole portobello mushrooms can be cooked directly on the grill and sliced after cooking or served whole (they make great veggie burgers). Make a grilled veggie medley using wedges of red onions or chunks of bell peppers.
MARINADE: Balsamic vinegar, olive oil, fresh garlic, and a dash of lemon juice infuse the mushrooms with a savory flavor. Switch out the vinegar for soy sauce, tamari, or Worcestershire, if desired. Instead of olive oil, try melted butter or leftover bacon grease.
How to Grill Mushrooms
It won’t take long to have these mushrooms ready for serving.
- Marinate mushrooms for up to an hour (as per the recipe below).
- Grill until the mushrooms are tender and juicy, and lightly charred on both sides. Serve immediately.
Tips & Tricks
- For best results, wipe any dirt off the mushrooms with a clean paper towel instead of rinsing them under water. This helps avoid the mushrooms becoming waterlogged or soggy.
- Marinate mushrooms for a minimum of 10 minutes, and no longer than an hour or they’ll become mushy.
- Keep leftover grilled mushrooms in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add them to omelets, soups, stir-fries or this grilled vegetable salad or to cauliflower stuffing.
- Cook mushrooms in a grilling pan or thread them onto skewers. Then cook them directly on the grill for a dramatic-looking side dish.
