Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large Portabella mushrooms cleaned and sliced into 1-inch thick slices
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest optional
  • 8-10 wooden or metal skewers

Method
 

  1. Prep the Mushrooms: Slice the Portabella mushrooms into thick 1-inch slices and set aside.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Mix well.
  3. Marinate the Mushrooms: Place the mushroom slices in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to infuse.
  4. Skewer the Mushrooms: After marinating, thread the mushroom slices onto skewers.
  5. Grill the Skewers: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and lightly charred.
  6. Serve: Remove from the grill, garnish with extra fresh thyme or a squeeze of lemon, and serve hot.

Notes

  • For a smoky flavor, you can also roast these skewers in the oven at 400°F for 12-15 minutes.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
