Garlic Butter Grilled Mushrooms are your answer to a quick, flavorful side dish that feels special but is easy enough for any night of the week. These juicy, buttery mushrooms are perfect for grilling season and add a savory touch to any meal.
The star of the show is, of course, the mushrooms. Large varieties work best as they can hold more of that delicious garlic butter. Butter adds richness and keeps them moist, while garlic brings a punch of flavor. Fresh parsley and thyme provide a bright, earthy note that complements the mushrooms beautifully. A touch of salt and black pepper enhances all the flavors, and a bit of olive oil ensures they won’t stick to your grill.
These Garlic Butter Grilled Mushrooms are a fantastic accompaniment to any grilled meats like steak or chicken. They also pair well with other grilled veggies or serve them as a satisfying appetizer with a slice of crusty bread to soak up the extra garlic butter.
Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. This is key to getting a nice sear without overcooking the mushrooms. While the grill heats up, mix your melted butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. This mixture will be your secret sauce for flavor.
Next, brush the mushrooms with olive oil. This step is crucial to prevent sticking and to help them cook evenly. Place them on the grill with the gill side down — this allows the mushrooms to get a good sear and helps them retain their juices. Grill for about 4-5 minutes.
Flip the mushrooms, and here comes the fun part: generously brush the garlic butter mixture onto the gill side. Let them grill for another 3-4 minutes until they're tender and full of that garlicky, herby goodness. Remove from the grill and serve immediately while they’re hot and fragrant.
