These garlic butter grilled mushrooms are an easy, flavorful side dish perfect for BBQs or weeknight dinners, delivering a rich steakhouse taste with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 grams) cremini mushrooms
  • 4 tablespoons (60 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
  • Salt to taste (kosher salt recommended)
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Clean and prep mushrooms by wiping them gently with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove dirt. Trim stems slightly if needed, keeping mushrooms whole. (5 minutes)
  2. In a medium bowl, toss mushrooms with olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)
  3. Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic and fresh thyme, stirring gently until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Avoid browning the garlic. (5 minutes)
  4. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C). Clean grates to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
  5. Place mushrooms on the grill grate or pan. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, turning gently with tongs to get a good char while keeping mushrooms juicy. (10 minutes)
  6. During the last 2 minutes of grilling, brush mushrooms generously with garlic butter mixture, turning once or twice to coat all sides. (3 minutes)
  7. Remove mushrooms from grill, transfer to serving dish, drizzle with remaining garlic butter, and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top. (2 minutes)

Notes

Avoid washing mushrooms under running water to prevent sogginess; wipe clean instead. Baste garlic butter near the end of grilling to prevent burning the garlic. Let mushrooms rest a few minutes after grilling for juiciness. If no grill is available, use a cast-iron grill pan indoors. For a vegan version, substitute butter with vegan margarine or coconut oil.
