Why We Love This Recipe For Grilled Mushroom Kebabs

We all have our hobbies, and clearly grilling is mine! Okay, it’s not quite a hobby, but I sure do it enough! It’s not just about grilling meats around here. I also am a huge fan of grilling veggies: like Grilled Broccoli in Foil, Grilled Onions, Grilled Potatoes this Grilled Zucchini recipe and even Grilled Carrots.

It’s time though, to introduce a new player to my grill lineup – the only fungus I want in my life: Mushrooms. This recipe for Garlic Herb Grilled Mushroom Kebabs is juicy, flavorful, and no one could ever call it boring! Between the garlic, herb, and vinegar marinade, these mushroom kebabs pack so much tastiness that you might even enjoy them as a main course. 

Mushrooms are a great substitute for meat because they’re, well, meaty, and they’re also a good source of protein and fiber. Also, a major plus side to this recipe is that you can make these skewers ahead of time and have them ready in the fridge for meals throughout the week!

Now, what are we waiting for? It’s time to get fun-gi and grill up these kebabs!

Key Ingredients for this Recipe

mushrooms, thyme, garlic, red wine vinegar, and olive oil to make mushroom kebabs

Mushrooms

Any variety of mushroom can be grilled, especially if you have a vegetable grill basket, but the best mushrooms for kebabs are small and evenly sized. We like small white mushrooms, cremini, baby bella or “button” mushrooms. Look for mushrooms that are about 1 inch each. That way each serving is five or six mushrooms.

Sherry Vinegar or Red Wine Vinegar

You can use either vinegar here, it just depends on your preferences. Red wine vinegar is more versatile and lower in acidity. Sherry vinegar has more of a strong and smoky flavor. Either vinegar will be delicious with these kebabs, but the sherry vinegar will definitely provide more of a flavor kick.

Oil and Seasonings

  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Minced garlic
  • Chopped fresh thyme
  • Salt & Pepper

Expert Tips For Mushroom Kebabs and FAQs

How can I meal prep these mushroom kebabs?

Remove the grilled mushrooms from the skewers and store them in a resealable container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 1 minute per serving, or heat on the stovetop, covered in a saucepan with a little olive oil or broth. Stir often until the mushrooms are hot.

After marinating my mushrooms, they let off a lot of juice. Is that okay?

The mushrooms can be marinated for up to 8 hours, so in the marinating process they may let off some juice. That’s fine! Just blot them with a clean paper towel before grilling.

How many mushrooms should I put on each skewer?

The number of mushrooms per serving will vary depending on the size of the mushrooms. For best results use evenly sized mushrooms and turn the kebabs often to prevent them from cooking too fast.
