Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces baby bella mushrooms (also called cremini), cleaned, tough ends cut off
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil, extra virgin
  • 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1½ teaspoons garlic, finely minced or pressed
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, optional or to taste

Instructions
 Start Cooking 

  • Wash hands thoroughly, lathering with soap and rinsing under running water.
  • Heat your grill or set your oven to 425°F. Use the roast setting if your oven has one.
  • Place the cleaned, trimmed mushrooms on a large piece of extra-wide, heavy-duty foil, cap side down.
  • Whisk together the oil, vinegar, and garlic in a small bowl. Use a small heat-tolerant brush to paint the stem ends of the mushrooms with this mixture.
  • Carefully place the foil with the mushrooms on the grill over medium-high heat or place in the oven.
  • When the mushrooms start to soften, after five to seven minutes, brush them once again with the seasoned oil and vinegar mixture.
  • Let them cook about five more minutes until they are soft, juicy, and cooked through. This may take a little longer in the oven, perhaps up to eight minutes, depending on the size of the mushrooms, with larger mushrooms needing more time.
  • Remove the foil from the grill or oven and crimp the edges, making a packet that will allow the mushrooms to steam for a couple of minutes.
  • Serve the mushrooms and any juices over rice, noodles with steak, tofu, or pork. You can also serve them as a vegan main over a starch with a salad or vegetable on the side.

Notes

Note: The nutrition calculations include all of the balsamic-olive oil in the recipe. The amount of this mixture is generous, so you may not want to use the entire four Tablespoons.  The mushrooms will have fewer calories and less fat if you have some left over.
