Fantastic Balsamic Ginger Grilled Portobello Mushrooms Made Easy

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and dried thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. Marinate the Mushrooms

    Place the portobello mushrooms in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the mushrooms, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or for more flavor, leave them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

  3. Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean to prevent sticking.

  4. Grill the Mushrooms

    Remove the mushrooms from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place them on the grill, cap side down, and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.

  5. Serve

    Remove the mushrooms from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Serve them garnished with fresh parsley. They can be enjoyed as a main dish, or sliced and served on salads or as a burger substitute.
