Directions

Prepare the Marinade:
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), chopped garlic, thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, and red chili pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to blend the flavors together.
Marinate the Mushrooms:
Add the sliced mushrooms to the bowl. Toss them gently to ensure they are thoroughly coated with the marinade.
Cover the bowl and let the mushrooms marinate for at least 30 minutes. For a deeper flavor, you can marinate them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
Soak the Skewers:
While the mushrooms are marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water. This prevents them from burning while grilling. Soak them for at least 30 minutes.
Skewer the Mushrooms:
Once marinated, thread the mushrooms onto the soaked skewers. Ensure to twist them onto the skewer rather than just piercing through for a stable hold.
Preheat the Grill:
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. It should be hot for searing the mushrooms and giving them a beautiful char.
Grill the Mushrooms:
Place the mushroom skewers on the grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are tender and slightly charred.
Serving:
Transfer the grilled mushroom skewers to a serving platter. Garnish with additional chopped parsley for a fresh touch and aesthetic appeal.
Serve immediately as an appetizer or side dish. Pair with grilled meats or a light salad for a complete meal experience.

Recipe Note

Feel free to use any type of mushrooms. Ensure they are sliced evenly for consistent cooking.
For additional flavors, incorporate other vegetables like bell peppers or onions onto the skewers.
Adjust the spice level by adding or omitting the red chili pepper flakes according to your preference.
