Ingredients
- 500 grams Cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes
Directions
Step 1
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth. Remove the stems and set aside for another use if desired.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, salt, ground black pepper, lemon juice, and red chili flakes until well combined.
Step 3
Add the mushrooms to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until they are evenly coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Place the marinated mushrooms on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the mushrooms are tender and have developed a nice char.
Step 6
Remove the mushrooms from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Step 7
Serve the grilled mushrooms hot as a side dish, on top of a salad, or as a sandwich filling for a heart-healthy meal.
