How to Prepare Grilled Garlic Butter Mushrooms

1. Wipe the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to clean.
2. Place mushrooms onto metal skewers, or use wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for 30 minutes.
3. Heat the grill to medium-high heat.
4. In a small pot, add the butter and garlic. Place on the grill (or stovetop), until the butter melts. Do not brown the garlic.
5. Place the mushroom skewers on the grill and cook for about 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and slightly charred.
6. When the mushrooms are almost done, brush generously with the garlic butter on all sides.
7. Remove from the grill, sprinkle with flaky salt and fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

How to Serve and Store

• Serve these Grilled Garlic Butter Mushrooms hot off the grill. They make a fantastic side dish for steak, chicken, or fish, and can also be served over rice, pasta, or alongside other grilled vegetables. For extra flavor, drizzle with more melted garlic butter or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat gently in a skillet with a touch of butter or in the oven at 350°F (175°C), until warmed through. Avoid microwaving too long, as the mushrooms can become rubbery.
• Freezing these mushrooms once cooked, is not recommended, as their texture can become mushy after thawing.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I make these without skewers? Yes, you can grill them in a grill basket or cast iron skillet placed directly on the grill.
• Can I make this recipe indoors? Absolutely! Use a grill pan on the stovetop or roast in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes.
• Do I need to marinate the mushrooms? No, the garlic butter gives them plenty of flavor. However, you can toss them in olive oil and herbs before grilling if you’d like.
• Can I prepare them ahead of time? You can clean and skewer the mushrooms in advance, but brush with garlic butter only when grilling to keep them fresh.
