This recipe for grilled mushrooms is one that you need to keep on hand if you own a grill or grill pan; if not, it might be worth buying one just to try it. It only requires six ingredients and takes 15 minutes to prepare, and the flavor is out of this world. As the mushrooms cook on the grill, they turn charred on the outside and juicy in the middle, and their savory, umami flavor intensifies.

Ingredients:
- 16 ounces Portobello mushrooms
- ¼ cup butter (melted)
- 2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 teaspoons thyme leaves (fresh or dried)
- 1 Tablespoon Hey Grill Hey Beef Rub (or 1 teaspoon each: salt, pepper, and onion powder)
Instruction:
- Prepare the mushrooms. Gently clean mushrooms by wiping the tops with a damp paper towel. Trim the ends of the stems and then cut mushrooms in half. Larger mushrooms may need to be quartered.
- Marinate the mushrooms. Combine all ingredients in a gallon zip-top bag. Close the lid and gently shake to coat each mushroom with the marinade. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for 1 hour. Don't marinate for longer than 1 hour, or the salt and vinegar will start to change the texture of the mushrooms.
- Preheat the grill. Preheat your grill to 450 degrees F. This recipe works on all types of grills and would even work in the oven.
- Grill! Transfer your mushrooms to a grill pan with holes in the bottom. Pour gently so you don't dump marinade into the pan and through the holes. Reserve the marinade to use during the grilling process. Grill the mushrooms. Place the grill pan on the grill grates and close the lid to your grill. Cook the mushrooms for about 12 minutes, stirring the mushrooms and drizzling in the reserved marinade every 3 minutes.
- Enjoy! The mushrooms are ready when they have nice browned edges and a softened texture.
FAQ
What is the best mushroom seasoning?
All you need is some butter, fresh garlic, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder; I do like to combine fresh garlic and garlic powder because each brings something different to the overall flavor. Even though the mushrooms have a very simple seasoning, you will enjoy their full, rich flavor.
Do we need to boil mushroom before grilling?
Fuller elaborated in a longer Instagram post: “First, boil the mushrooms. First, boil to perfection – you can keep adding water until this is achieved. Remember, you can’t overboil a mushroom because of its special cellular structure. They will let their own water out so don’t put too much water at once.
How long does a mushroom take to grill?
Grill: Place gill side up on the grill for 10 to 14 minutes, turn over, and grill for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until juicy and browned.
Are grilled mushroom healthy?
In addition to being low in fat and calories, mushrooms also contain a significant amount of dietary fiber, protein, amino acids, vitamins (including B1, B2, B12, C, D, and E), and trace minerals.
