Savory, smoky, and packed with flavor—these balsamic garlic grilled mushroom skewers are a simple and delicious addition to any summer BBQ or dinner spread. The marinade is full of rich, garlicky goodness with just the right amount of tang.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb cremini or button mushrooms, cleaned and stems trimmed

  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar

  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce or tamari

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried thyme)

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp ground black pepper

  • Fresh chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

  • Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. Make the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.

  2. Marinate the Mushrooms: Add mushrooms to the bowl and toss to coat. Let them marinate for 20–30 minutes at room temperature.

  3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high. Soak wooden skewers in water if using (to prevent burning).

  4. Assemble Skewers: Thread the marinated mushrooms onto skewers, leaving a little space between each.

  5. Grill: Place skewers on the grill and cook for about 2–3 minutes per side, turning occasionally and basting with leftover marinade, until mushrooms are tender and lightly charred.

  6. Serve: Remove from the grill, sprinkle with parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Don’t over-marinate—30 minutes is perfect or mushrooms may get too soft.

  • For extra flavor, grill over charcoal or wood chips.

  • Great as a side, on salads, or in wraps!
