Start by cleaning the mushrooms. Use a damp paper towel or a mushroom brush to gently clean the mushrooms, removing any dirt or debris. Trim the stems and slice the mushrooms if they are large, otherwise, leave them whole.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, and black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together to create the marinade.
Add the cleaned mushrooms to the marinade, tossing them gently until they are well-coated. Allow them to sit and marinate for about 10 minutes.
While the mushrooms are marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Once the grill is ready, use tongs to carefully place the mushrooms onto the grill. Grill the mushrooms for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
Remove the mushrooms from the grill and place them in a serving dish.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the grilled mushrooms for added brightness and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish or topping for steaks, burgers, or salads.
