Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 10-oz roughly chopped mushrooms (cremini or shiitake work well)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (tamari for a gluten-free option)
- 1 1/2 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- a pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Mushrooms: Chop or slice the mushrooms, depending on what you are making them for.
- Combine: In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce or tamari, maple syrup or agave nectar, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk the marinade until well combined.
- Marinate: Toss the mushrooms in the marinade until they are well coated. You can leave them in the marinade for longer to enhance the flavor if you're not in a hurry.
- Cook: Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated mushroom and cook for about 10 minutes. They will significantly reduce in size. The marinade will caramelize as they cook, giving the mushrooms a smoky and savory flavor reminiscent of bacon.
- Serve: Once the mushroom slices are tender, remove them from the heat and serve.
Notes
If you are baking the mushrooms in the oven, spread them evenly in a single layer on a baking sheet along with any remaining marinade. Bake them at 400°F (200°C) for 15 - 20 minutes or until tender and shrink in size.
Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking so the mushrooms can get properly brown and caramelized.
When it comes to smoky glazed mushrooms, cremini and shiitake mushrooms are my favorites. Use whatever variety you would like.
