Ingredients
Scale
Marinade
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, or parsley), finely chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Mushrooms
- 1 pound whole mushrooms (such as cremini or button mushrooms), cleaned and stems trimmed
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended, creating a fragrant marinade.
- Marinate the mushrooms: Add whole mushrooms to the marinade and toss gently to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the mushrooms to absorb the flavors.
- Thread mushrooms onto skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated mushrooms onto skewers, leaving a small space between each mushroom to ensure even cooking.
- Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Grill the skewers: Place the mushroom skewers on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until the mushrooms are tender and have nice grill marks.
- Serve: Remove skewers from the grill and transfer to a serving plate. Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
Notes
- For added flavor, you can add a splash of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar to the marinade.
- If you prefer, substitute fresh herbs with 1 teaspoon dried herbs.
- Grilled mushrooms can be kept warm wrapped in foil for up to 15 minutes before serving.
- Use medium-sized mushrooms for easier threading and more even grilling.
- For a smoky flavor, soak the skewers in water with a splash of wine or beer before grilling.
