Equipment
10 small skewers (optional)
Ingredients
12 ounces oyster mushrooms
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
1 ½ tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon olive oil sesame oil, or water
Instructions
– Trim the mushrooms: Use kitchen shears or a small knife to separate the mushrooms from the base and remove the stems.
– Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp towel. Use the cloth or paper towel to remove any debris.
– Make the marinade: Add the balsamic vinegar, chili garlic sauce, maple syrup, and oil to a large dish or bowl. Whisk well to combine.
Marinate: Gently toss the mushrooms with the marinade until evenly coated. Set aside for 10 minutes.
Optional: Thread the mushrooms onto the skewers. Either grill, roast, or air fry.
Cook the mushrooms: Grill for about 7 minutes on each side, or roast at 425ºF for about 15 minutes, flipping them over halfway, or air fry at 380ºF for about 10 minutes. Baste the mushrooms with remaining marinade halfway through cooking.
Notes
– Do not marinate the oyster mushrooms for longer than 10 minutes or they will tear easily from too much moisture. Instead, use the remaining marinade for basting them in the oven, or add roughly chopped veggies to the marinade and cook them with the mushrooms.
– If using, remember to soak wooden or bamboo skewers in water for at least 15 minutes beforehand. Otherwise, the food might stick to them when cooking, and become difficult to remove.
– For serving: Serve these Easy Oyster Mushrooms as skewers with a dipping sauce, or in sandwiches or wraps. Or add them to veggie or grain bowls in place of meat.
