My newest grilling obsession is making Grilled Mushrooms. I haven’t grilled a mushroom since culinary school, and forgot just how good they are. However, the other night, when planning to grill mushrooms, the weather took a turn for the worse (read: monsoon) and I had to reevaluate my dinner plans. Since I already had my mushrooms mixed together with the oil, herbs and seasoning, I decided I would just roast them in the oven (oddly enough, something I’ve never done with mushrooms….usually I sauté them).
The mushrooms came out perfectly tender and flavorful and this literally could not be easier to make. I bought super large white mushrooms – potentially genetically engineered they were so large – and they worked out perfectly to be sliced ¼” thick for this recipe.
This side dish pairs great with chicken, steak or with a vegetarian meal to act as a “meaty” protein.
Enjoy!
