Grilled Balsamic Mushrooms

The balsamic flavor shines through in these simple grilled mushrooms. Thyme and basil add brightness to the marinade. If your mushrooms are of differing sizes, halve or quarter them so they are all roughly the same size to cook evenly.

Ingredients

2 portobello mushroom caps
1 (8 ounce) package fresh cremini mushrooms
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, plus more for serving
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

Use a spoon to scrape off brown gills from underside of portobello caps; discard. Cut the portobellos and creminis into 1 1/2-inch pieces.
Whisk vinegar, oil, basil, mustard, garlic, thyme, crushed red pepper and salt together in a large bowl. Add the mushrooms; cover and let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. Thread onto 4 (12-inch) metal skewers. (If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes before using.)
Preheat grill to medium-high (400-450°F). Use tongs to dip a paper towel in oil and oil the grill grates. Place the skewers on the oiled grates; grill, uncovered and turning occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Serve the mushrooms on the skewers or remove them from the skewers and transfer to a large plate. Sprinkle with chopped basil, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
