Grilled balsamic marinated mushrooms are one of those simple dishes that feel a little elevated without any extra effort. The mushrooms soak up a tangy, slightly sweet balsamic marinade, then hit the grill where they become tender, juicy, and lightly charred.
They’re perfect as a side dish, but don’t stop there. Pile them onto a sandwich, serve them over pasta, or add them to a grain bowl. If you’re already firing up the grill, this is an easy add-on that brings a lot of flavor.
Helpful Tips
- Use larger mushrooms like cremini or portobello so they hold up well on the grill and don’t fall through the grates.
- Marinate for at least 20 minutes to let the balsamic really soak in, but don’t go too long or they can become overly soft.
- Thread onto skewers or use a grill basket to make flipping easier and keep smaller mushrooms from slipping through.

Instructions
