Why Try Garlic Grilled Mushroom Skewers!
Marinated mushrooms caramelize perfectly over open flames, taking on irresistible charred edges while retaining their juicy centers. The robust garlic infusion stands up to grilling, adding a punch of savoriness complemented by a hint of herbs. These skewers are equally delicious as a main, a side, or a fun appetizer—perfect for sharing at family cookouts or bringing to a picnic.
Mushroom Prep Made Easy
Start by cleaning and trimming your mushrooms to uniform sizes, ensuring they cook evenly on the grill. For a breeze, use a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper to slice any larger mushrooms or additional veggies (like bell peppers or onions) you’d like to add to your skewers.
Once prepped, toss your mushrooms in a flavorful marinade made with fresh garlic, olive oil, and herbs. Allow the mushrooms to soak up the marinade for at least 30 minutes—longer if you crave extra punch.
Grilling to Perfection
Thread the marinated mushrooms onto skewers, giving a little space between each to let the heat reach all sides. For even grilling, a set of bamboo or metal skewers works well.
Before placing them on the grill, lightly coat the mushrooms with oil using a TrendPlain 16oz/470ml Olive Oil Sprayer for Cooking, which helps prevent sticking and boosts that signature grilled flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the skewers 8–10 minutes, turning regularly, until mushrooms are golden brown and slightly crispy at the edges. Use a ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking if you want precise reassurance that your mushrooms are perfectly done!
