Ingredients
- 4 large king oyster mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons vegan butter
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the king oyster mushrooms by cutting off the caps and using a fork to shred the stems lightly, creating a 'lobster tail' texture.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk together.
Step 3
Coat the mushroom pieces in the marinade, ensuring they are well covered. Allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Step 4
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 5
While the mushrooms marinate, prepare the garlic herb butter by melting the vegan butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Step 6
Mince the garlic cloves finely and add them to the melted butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 7
Chop the fresh parsley and stir it into the garlic butter mixture, along with the nutritional yeast and lemon zest. Mix well and remove from heat.
Step 8
Grill the marinated mushrooms for 5-7 minutes on each side, until they develop a nice char and are tender.
Step 9
Remove the mushrooms from the grill and immediately brush with the garlic herb butter.
Step 10
Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with extra parsley if desired, and serve hot.
