Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Lion’s Mane Mushrooms: Look for firm, fresh mushrooms without dark spots; they should feel dense and moist.
Olive Oil: A good quality extra virgin olive oil enhances flavor and helps achieve that lovely grill mark.
Garlic Powder: Offers a subtle depth of flavor; fresh garlic can also be used if you prefer a stronger kick.
Salt and Pepper: Essential seasonings that balance flavors; feel free to adjust according to taste.
Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice brightens up the dish and brings out the natural flavors of the mushrooms.
Fresh Herbs (like parsley or thyme): Chopped herbs add freshness and visual appeal; use whatever you have on hand.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Prepare Your Grill: Start by preheating your Traeger grill to 400°F (200°C). This temperature ensures even cooking and those beautiful grill marks we all love.

Mushroom Prep Time: While the grill is heating up, gently clean the Lion’s Mane mushrooms with a damp cloth. Avoid rinsing them under water as they can absorb too much moisture.

Season Those Fungi: In a mixing bowl, drizzle olive oil over the prepared mushrooms. Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lemon juice evenly over them. Toss gently until each piece is well-coated.

Grill Master Mode On: Place the seasoned mushrooms directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown and beautifully charred.

Add Fresh Herbs at the End: Once grilled to perfection, remove them from heat and sprinkle freshly chopped herbs over your delicious creations while they’re still warm.

Enjoy these sensational grilled Lion’s Mane mushrooms as a side dish or serve them piled high on a crusty baguette for an unforgettable sandwich experience!

These tender bites will leave everyone asking how you became such a grill master overnight! Remember to share your triumphs (or failures) with me in the comments below – I promise I won’t judge!
