These grilled mushroom skewers feature a tangy balsamic garlic marinade that delivers smoky, savory flavor perfect for BBQs or quick weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cremini mushrooms (about 450 grams), cleaned and stems trimmed
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (60 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (30 ml)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (15 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 8–10 wooden or metal skewers (soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, honey or maple syrup, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined and glossy.
  2. Clean and prep mushrooms: Gently wipe cremini mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. Trim stems if long or uneven.
  3. Marinate mushrooms: Toss mushrooms in the marinade ensuring each is fully coated. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Prepare skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes if using. Thread 4-5 mushrooms onto each skewer, leaving space between each.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F / 190-205°C). Lightly oil grill grates to prevent sticking.
  6. Grill skewers: Place mushroom skewers on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, turning carefully until mushrooms are tender with smoky grill marks (total 10-12 minutes).
  7. Remove skewers from heat and let rest for 2 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Marinate mushrooms at least 20 minutes for best flavor. Avoid overcooking to prevent rubbery texture. Optionally add red pepper flakes for heat or fresh herbs after grilling for extra flavor.
