    Done on the outdoor griddle, Caramelized Mushrooms, are so easy to do. We add a pinch of garlic and some olive oil which gives a wonderful buttery and savory taste to the mushrooms. We love how you can get everything done on the outdoor griddle. When you kick off with these caramelized mushrooms it is going to be a special meal. They caramelize up in 12 minutes. You can simply move them over to the side while you prepare burgers, chicken, or eggs.

    Ingredients

    We used white mushrooms, salt, granulated garlic, and olive oil. That's it. We love how you can get everything done on the outdoor griddle.

    Caramelizing Mushrooms

    The big thing here is to warm up the griddle which gives you plenty of time to clean and prepare the mushrooms. If you are adding the mushrooms to something else, you will want to have that prepared as well.

    1. Prep Time – Clean the mushrooms and pat them dry with a towel then slice to your desired thickness. Place in a bowl and add the oil and mix. Then add the salt and granulated garlic to coat the mushrooms.

    2. Caramelizing Mushrooms – This is really straightforward, just flip every 1 – 2 minutes until you reach your preferred doneness.

    3. Wait or Serve – One of the things I love about the outdoor griddle is being able to keep items warm while I cook the next item. Simply shift the mushrooms to a side area with the burner off and make the next item to add the caramelized mushrooms too.
    Otherwise, they are excellent all by themselves, just place them in a bowl and enjoy.

    The recipe card has more detailed instructions and quantities.

    Caramelizing the mushrooms is really straightforward, just flip every 1 - 2 minutes until you reach your preferred doneness. To evenly caramelize the mushrooms, I take the time to ensure the end cuts are flat side down for the first part of the cook.

    Substitutions

    You can substitute the white mushrooms with baby bells, Portabella, or Shiitake. The thickness and size will change the time, especially a Portabella.

    Variations

    Mushrooms are very versatile, so you can change the flavor to your preference. Remember that mushrooms will pick up the flavor easily, so a little goes a long way.

    • Extra Garlic– If you’re going to use a garlic clove, I’d chop or thinly slice it and add it at the beginning. I would do the same with fresh minced garlic.
    • Deluxe – Have some fun with some Italian seasoning and chives. You can finish the mushrooms with a bit of butter before you serve.
    • Earthy taste– You just need to add some rosemary.

    Equipment

    A good knife, a cutting board, and a griddle that’s all you need to caramelize the mushrooms.

    Storage / Leftover / Rewarm

    • Storage: Place in an airtight container and place in the fridge. I prefer to use them in 1 – 2 days.
    • Leftovers: Don’t worry about doing too much. The following day they are great in a mushroom and cheese omelet.
    • Rewarm: I like to put them back on the griddle or skillet. You can add a dash of oil or a bit of butter. Just flip over low heat for a few minutes until hot again.

    FAQ

    Can I substitute the granulated garlic?

    Yes. Garlic powder or dry minced will work like granulated. If you choose fresh be careful not to let it burn. You may need to flip the mushrooms a bit more while they caramelize.

    What is the difference between caramelizing and sautéing the mushrooms?

    The difference is “low and slow” versus “hot and fast”, respectively. Caramelizing is cooking at a low temperature to allow the sugars to be more prominent. Sautéing is done at a higher temperature. It is quicker and develops more of a crust or even a char to the mushrooms.

    Can you freeze the caramelized mushrooms?

    You sure can. Make sure they have cooled off and place them in an airtight freezer bag with as much of the air removed as possible.

    • I love it when we have a tasty and easy recipe to share like Smoked Baked Potatoes. These potatoes come out fluffy and buttery with the classic smoke flavor of mesquite. The cooking time is not much different than the oven, and it lets you use it for something else. Mark this recipe because when you want a baked potato, you are going to want to do them on the BBQ or smoker. Just look at how tender, fluffy, and buttery these smoked baked potatoes are. The best for me is the skin. I usually don’t eat the skin. Until we started smoking them. The skin is perfectly crispy like a chip or a crispy potato skin.

    Pairing

    Here are some dishes you can add the caramelized mushrooms too:

    • Cooked low and slow with sweet pecan wood, these Smoked Meatballs are our favorite BBQ flavor bombs this summer. The cheese brings a whole new level of flavor and texture.

    • Have ever seen the big Bone in Ribeye at the butcher counter and wondered how can I cook it? It is easier than you think. Best of all you get a dino rib as a bonus. The answer I have found to cooking this thick "Cowboy Cut" Angus ribeye is to reverse sear the steak. It is ideal for this. If you cook more than one, you can vary the level of doneness for each much easier.

    • These are the BEST and EASIEST Smoked Chicken Thighs we ever made. The slightly caramelized BBQ sauce on the skin makes every bite sweet and tender with a hint of smoke.

    • Smoked Sirloin Tip Roast is a wonderful meaty, tender, and juicy roast when smoked with maple wood "Low and Slow". Marinating overnight with balsamic vinegar and garlic tenderizes the roast to make a meal to remember.

    Caramelizing Mushrooms

    • We have a 36-inch griddle with 4 burners. I turn off the first two burns and use the other half of the griddle for caramelizing the white mushrooms.
    • I like to sear the mushrooms for 4 minutes on one side first.
    • Then I flip them every 1 – 2 minutes until a subtle golden color or your preferred doneness. It was about 12 minutes in total for this cook.

    Wait or Serve

    • Once the caramelized mushrooms are at your level of doneness you can simply shift the mushrooms to a side area with no heat to wait. Then make the next item to add the caramelized mushrooms too.
