Ingredients
- 500 grams Button mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 4 wedges Lemon wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel or brushing off any dirt. If the mushrooms are large, cut them in half; otherwise, keep them whole.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Add the mushrooms to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the spice mixture. Let them marinate for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 4
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Thread the mushrooms onto metal or pre-soaked wooden skewers, or place them directly on the grill if they are large enough to handle.
Step 6
Grill the mushrooms for 4–5 minutes per side, or until they are tender and have developed a nice char. Avoid overcooking, as this can make them mushy.
Step 7
Remove the mushrooms from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Step 8
Serve the spicy grilled mushrooms with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
