Ingredients
For the Mushroom Skewers
- 2 pounds cremini mushrooms, sliced lengthwise
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or coconut aminos for paleo option)
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes, optional
Instructions
- Marinate the mushrooms: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, chopped garlic, thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, and red chili pepper flakes if using. Add the sliced mushrooms and toss well to coat them evenly. Let them marinate for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse thoroughly while soaking the wooden skewers in water to prevent burning during grilling.
- Skewer the mushrooms: After marinating, thread the mushroom slices onto the soaked wooden skewers. To make this easier and prevent the mushrooms from falling apart, twist them gently onto the skewer instead of just piercing through straight.
- Grill the skewers: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the mushroom skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the mushrooms are tender and have developed a slight char. This quick grilling seals in the marinade’s flavors while giving the mushrooms a smoky finish.
- Serve and garnish: Transfer the grilled mushroom skewers to a serving platter. Sprinkle with additional fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and fresh flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy as a tasty appetizer or side dish.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- Feel free to substitute cremini mushrooms with white button or portobello mushrooms for a different texture.
- Adjust chili flakes according to your preferred spice level.
- These skewers are best served fresh off the grill for maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Can be paired with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
