Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (1 lb) mushrooms (white button, baby bellas)
- 1/4 cup butter
- 4 cloves garlic
Seasonings:
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- Garlic salt (for additional sprinkling)
Garnish:
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the grilling environment by heating the outdoor grill to a consistent 350°F, ensuring an even cooking surface for the mushrooms.
- Carefully slice mushrooms into halves or thirds, accounting for their individual sizes, and transfer them into a spacious mixing bowl for easy preparation.
- Create a flavorful garlic butter sauce by thoroughly whisking melted butter with finely minced garlic, incorporating salt, black pepper, garlic salt, and freshly chopped parsley until well combined.
- Drizzle the aromatic garlic butter mixture over the mushrooms, gently tossing to ensure each piece is uniformly coated with the savory seasoning.
- Position a large sheet of heavy-duty parchment paper, carefully transfer the seasoned mushrooms to its center, then meticulously fold and seal the packet by rolling down the sides and crimping the edges to prevent any leakage.
- Carefully place the sealed parchment packet onto the preheated grill, cooking for approximately 15 minutes, then carefully flip and continue grilling for an additional 10-15 minutes until mushrooms reach desired tenderness.
- Remove the packet from the grill, allowing it to rest briefly, then either serve directly from the parchment or transfer to a serving bowl, finishing with a light sprinkle of extra garlic salt to enhance the flavor profile.
Notes
- Slice mushrooms uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Experiment with different mushroom varieties like shiitake, cremini, or portobello for unique flavor profiles and added nutritional value.
- Adjust garlic intensity by reducing or increasing minced garlic based on personal preference and potential dietary restrictions.
- Use dairy-free butter alternatives like olive oil or vegan butter to make the recipe suitable for plant-based diets while maintaining rich, savory flavors.
