Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh button or cremini mushrooms, cleaned
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, fresh herbs, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
- Marinate the Mushrooms: Add cleaned mushrooms to the marinade and toss gently to coat evenly. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator for maximum flavor absorption.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high (375-400°F / 190-204°C). Clean and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Mushrooms: Thread mushrooms onto skewers or place them in a grill basket. Grill for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and slightly charred.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove mushrooms from the grill, drizzle with additional balsamic glaze or sprinkle fresh herbs, and serve immediately for optimal juiciness and flavor.
Notes
- Choose firmer mushrooms like cremini or baby bellas for better grilling results.
- Don’t overcrowd skewers to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
- Use fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme rather than dried for vibrant aroma.
- Preheat grill properly to get the perfect sear and avoid soggy mushrooms.
- Allow mushrooms to rest a few minutes after grilling to retain juices.
