Balsamic Soy Grilled Mushrooms

Mushrooms naturally deliver a savory, “meaty” texture while being low in calories and rich in nutrients like B vitamins and antioxidants. Paired with heart-healthy olive oil and a bold, umami-packed marinade of soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic and ginger, this dish brings big flavor with minimal effort.

Serving Amount
Ingredients

  • 16 oz. white or baby portobella mushrooms

  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil

  • 2 Tbsp. soy sauce

  • 2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar

  • 1 Tbsp. maple syrup or honey

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp. ginger paste or fresh ginger, grated

  • 1 tsp. miso paste for extra umami (optional)

  • red pepper flakes (optional)

  • Sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions
  • Step 1

    In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, maple syrup, garlic and ginger along with optional miso and red pepper flakes.

  • Step 2

    Add mushrooms to bowl or marinate in a sealable bag. Let sit for at least 20-30 minutes. Toss occasionally so they soak evenly. Reserve the marinade.

  • Step 3

    Preheat grill to medium-high. Place mushrooms directly on grates (or use a grill basket/skewers). Grill 3-4 minutes per side, brushing on reserved marinade, until tender, slightly charred and juicy.

  • Step 4

    Transfer to a serving dish, brush on additional marinade if needed and immediately sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
