Mushroom Skewers
This dish will satisfy all your cravings for something grilled, fatty, and smoky. The mushrooms get a wonderful brown color from the grill and the umami flavor is very dominant. Make it when you’re barbecuing or just use a chargrill pan if you are making it at home.

Calories: 64kcal
Equipment
- Skewers
- Barbecue grill plate or Chargrill pan
Ingredients
- 1 pound + 2 ounces oyster mushrooms (do not wash the mushrooms. If they have dirt on them, wipe it away with a dry or slightly damp paper towel)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil plus more for brushing
- ¼ teaspoon salt plus more if you’d like
- ¼ teaspoon pepper plus more if you like
- 2 thinly sliced spring onions scallions, to garnish
Instructions
- Alternatively thread the oyster mushrooms with anything you’d like from the “Protein or Veggies Ideas for adding to the skewers” list onto 10 skewers.
- Brush the mushrooms and anything else you are adding to the skewer with olive oil. Season with the salt and pepper.
- Preheat a barbecue grill plate on medium-high or a chargrill pan over medium-high heat.
- Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of olive oil onto the grill plate, then add the skewers.
- Saute the skewers for about 5 minutes on each side, until very well grilled with dark brown edges.
- Serve hot straight from the grill plate. Season with more salt and pepper if you’d like. Garnish with the spring onions. Serve with any dipping sauce of your choice.
Notes
- How Long They Last: Cooked oyster mushroom skewers will stay good in the fridge for about 3 to 4 days. After that, the texture can get a bit too soft and the flavor starts to fade.
- Storing Tips: Let the skewers cool completely before storing. Then, place them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge. You can leave them on the skewers or slide the mushrooms off to save space.
- Reheating Suggestions: For the best texture, reheat them in a pan or oven until warmed through. This helps bring back a bit of that lightly crisp edge. The microwave works too, but the mushrooms may turn softer.
- Can You Freeze Them? You can freeze them, but the texture will change and become softer once thawed. If you do freeze them, store in a freezer-safe container and use within 1 to 2 months for best quality.
