Ingredients

• 450 grams Button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel or brush off any dirt. Avoid rinsing them under water, as they can become soggy.

Step 2

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the marinade until well combined.

Step 4

Add the mushrooms to the marinade, tossing them gently to ensure they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 20-30 minutes at room temperature. For better flavor, you can refrigerate them in the marinade for up to 2 hours.

Step 5

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. If baking, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 6

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

Step 7

If grilling, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, turning occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and slightly charred. If baking, arrange the skewers on a lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Step 8

Remove the skewers from the heat and serve immediately. Garnish with extra chopped parsley if desired.
