Equipment

Medium Bowl
6 Skewers
Grill

Ingredients

8 oz. white mushrooms halved, $1.88
2 Tbsp soy sauce $0.10
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce $0.02
2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil $0.68*
2 Tbsp olive oil $0.38
1 tsp smoked paprika $0.16
2 tsp apple cider vinegar $0.02
½ Tbsp maple syrup $0.16
sea salt to taste, $0.02
black pepper to taste (freshly cracked), $0.03

Instructions

Gather your ingredients.**
Clean the mushrooms of any dirt with a clean towel.
Combine all marinade ingredients (soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, toasted sesame oil, olive oil, smoked paprika, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup) in a bowl.
Cut the mushrooms in half lengthwise.
Toss the mushrooms in the marinade and marinate for 15 minutes.
Skewer the mushrooms, reserving any leftover marinade.
Grill cut side down until tender on a hot grill (our indoor electric grill was set to 500℉), brush with extra marinade, and flip after 5-8 minutes, when the mushrooms have a hard sear on the cut side. Once flipped, grill for a further 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper to taste. You can also top the skewers with freshly cut herbs as garnish, if you have any. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

*If your sesame oil doesn’t say toasted on the packaging, but it’s deeper brown in color, you’re likely good to go. Regular sesame oil works great, too, in a pinch. You’ll get plenty of smoky flavor from the grill and the smoked paprika.

**You may opt to soak your skewers, if they are made of wood, in water while you prepare your ingredients. This will keep them from catching fire on most grills. Our electric indoor grill did not require that step!
