How to Make Grilled Maitake Mushrooms

1. Preheat Grill

Start by preheating your gas grill, setting it to low heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

2. Season Mushrooms

Take your halved maitake mushrooms and season them generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle each half with about 2 tablespoons of garlic oil.

3. Grill Mushrooms

Place the seasoned mushrooms on the preheated grill and cover. Let them cook for about 5 minutes before turning them over. Continue grilling for a total of around 10 minutes until browned and crispy.

4. Serve

Serve these crispy grilled maitake mushrooms hot, perhaps alongside a refreshing salad or as part of a larger meal.

Pitfalls and tips

Choose Fresh, High-Quality Mushrooms

Start with firm, plump, and fresh maitake mushrooms without damp or slimy spots and a pleasant, earthy smell.

Hot Grill, Clean Grates

Preheat the grill for searing and ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

Control the Heat

Start on high heat for searing, then reduce or move to a cooler part of the grill to cook through without burning.

Don’t Overcook

Mushrooms should be tender inside with a crispy exterior. Remove them from the grill as soon as they're done.

Don't Overcrowd

Leave space between mushrooms on the grill to avoid steaming and to ensure crispiness.
