Ingredients

• 16 pieces Cremini mushrooms (or button mushrooms)
• 8 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Trim the stems if needed.

Step 2

Prepare the rosemary sprigs by stripping most of the leaves off each sprig, leaving a small tuft at the top for decoration. Gently run a knife down the stem to sharpen the bottom end for easier skewering.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk well to create a marinade.

Step 4

Add the cleaned mushrooms to the marinade and toss well, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow them to marinate for 10-15 minutes for maximum flavor.

Step 5

Carefully skewer two mushrooms onto each prepared rosemary sprig. Thread the mushrooms through the thickest part to ensure they stay secure.

Step 6

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Place the rosemary skewers on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, turning occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and slightly charred.

Step 8

Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately. These can be enjoyed as a standalone appetizer or alongside other grilled dishes.
