Ingredients

¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
½ tsp smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 lb button mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce.
Add garlic, Dijon mustard, and honey (or maple syrup), mixing well.
Stir in thyme, rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Place mushrooms in a bag or dish and pour marinade over them, ensuring even coating.
Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Thread mushrooms onto skewers, leaving a little space between each.
Grill for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally until evenly cooked and slightly charred.
Remove from grill, let cool slightly, and serve warm.

Notes

Add vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for variety.
Don’t overcrowd skewers to ensure even grilling.
Marinate longer (up to 2 hours) for deeper flavor.
Use metal skewers for easier handling and no soaking needed.
