Ingredients

• 500 g Large button mushrooms
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers (if grilling whole mushrooms)

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove dirt. If desired, trim the stems for a uniform appearance.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 4

Add the mushrooms to the bowl and toss gently to coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes while you preheat the BBQ.

Step 5

Preheat the BBQ grill to medium-high heat.

Step 6

If grilling whole mushrooms, thread them onto the soaked wooden skewers, ensuring they are secure and spaced slightly apart. For sliced mushrooms, use a grill basket to prevent them from falling through the grates.

Step 7

Place the mushrooms on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.

Step 8

Remove the mushrooms from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 9

Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot as a side dish or main course.
