Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Button mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp Chili flakes (optional, for heat)
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth or paper towel. Remove any tough stems as needed.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, grated ginger, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili flakes (if using), black pepper, and lemon juice.
Add the mushrooms to the bowl and toss well to coat them evenly in the marinade. Let the mushrooms marinate for at least 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the mushrooms are marinating, soak wooden skewers in water to prevent them from burning during cooking. Alternatively, use metal skewers.
Thread the marinated mushrooms onto the skewers, ensuring they are packed closely but not squished together.
Preheat a grill, grill pan, or oven to medium-high heat (about 200°C/400°F).
Cook the skewers, turning occasionally, for 15–20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and slightly caramelized. Brush any remaining marinade over the mushrooms as they cook for extra flavor.
Remove the skewers from the heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or as part of a main course with rice, salad, or flatbreads.
