Print Recipe

Grilled balsamic mushrooms offer a flavorful, easy-to-make dish combining the earthy richness of mushrooms with tangy balsamic vinegar and a smoky grilled char. Perfect as a side dish, topping, or vegetarian delight, they add bold, irresistible flavors to any meal and can be prepared in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Marinade

  • 1/4 cup good quality aged balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

For the Mushrooms

  • 16 oz firm, whole button or cremini mushrooms, cleaned

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, fresh herbs, salt, and pepper until the mixture is well combined and glossy.
  2. Marinate the Mushrooms: Add cleaned whole mushrooms to the marinade and toss gently to coat all surfaces. Let them soak for at least 20 minutes so the flavors can seep in deeply.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high, ensuring it’s hot enough to create a beautiful char without burning the mushrooms.
  4. Grill the Mushrooms: Place mushrooms directly on the grill grates, turning occasionally for even cooking and perfect grill marks, about 8-10 minutes total.
  5. Serve While Warm: Remove the mushrooms from heat and serve immediately to enjoy the juicy, smoky, and tangy goodness at its best.

Notes

  • Use whole mushrooms to retain moisture and flavor during grilling.
  • Don’t overcrowd the grill to ensure even cooking and proper charring.
  • For deeper flavor, marinate mushrooms for up to 1 hour but avoid longer to prevent sogginess.
  • Brush extra marinade on mushrooms while grilling to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Use medium-high heat to cook mushrooms fully without burning the marinade.
  • Let mushrooms rest 2-3 minutes off the grill before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
