Method
 

  1. Clean mushrooms and cut larger ones in half for uniform size.

  3. Toss mushrooms in marinade, cover, and refrigerate 30–120 minutes.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates.

Notes

Marinate mushrooms longer for deeper flavor. Works great with portobello or oyster mushrooms too.
