Ingredients

• 500 grams Mushrooms (button, cremini, or portobello)
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
• 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel or quickly rinsing them and patting them dry. Trim the stems if necessary.

Step 2

Mince the garlic and finely chop the fresh parsley and thyme leaves.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the garlic, parsley, thyme, olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 4

Add the mushrooms to the marinade and gently toss to coat. Let the mushrooms sit in the marinade for 15–30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, skip this step.

Step 6

Thread the marinated mushrooms onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each mushroom for even cooking.

Step 7

Preheat the barbecue grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Place the mushroom skewers on the grill and cook for 8–10 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and lightly charred.

Step 9

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve the barbecued garlic and herb mushrooms immediately as a side dish, appetizer, or main course.
