Ingredients
Mushrooms
- 1 lb mushrooms (white button, bellas, or similar varieties)
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 1/4 cup butter (melted)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp garlic salt (plus more for sprinkling)
- 1-2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to 350°F to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for even cooking of the mushrooms.
- Prepare Mushrooms: Slice the mushrooms into halves or thirds depending on their size, then transfer them into a large mixing bowl to prepare for coating.
- Make Garlic Butter Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, salt, pepper, garlic salt, and chopped parsley until fully combined and fragrant.
- Coat Mushrooms: Pour the garlic butter mixture over the sliced mushrooms and toss thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the flavorful sauce.
- Wrap Mushrooms: Lay a large sheet of heavy-duty parchment paper on a flat surface and pour the coated mushrooms into the center. Bring the two long sides of the parchment together and fold down a few times to create a seal.
- Seal Edges: Roll up the edges of the parchment tightly to form a sealed packet that will trap the mushroom juices while grilling and prevent any leakage.
- Grill Mushrooms: Place the sealed parchment packet on the preheated grill. Cook for 15 minutes, then carefully turn the packet and grill for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to steam in their own juices.
- Serve: Remove the packet from the grill and let it sit for a few minutes. Serve the mushrooms directly in the parchment or transfer to a bowl. Sprinkle additional garlic salt to taste if desired.
Notes
- You can use any variety of mushrooms such as cremini or portobello for slightly different textures and flavors.
- Ensure the parchment paper is tightly sealed to keep moisture from escaping and to steam the mushrooms effectively on the grill.
- If you don’t have fresh parsley, dried parsley can be substituted but use less as dried herbs are more concentrated.
- This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled depending on the number of servings needed.
- For a vegan version, substitute butter with a plant-based butter alternative.
- Keep an eye on the grill temperature to avoid burning the parchment; 350°F is ideal to gently cook the mushrooms without charring.
