Here are some suggestions for grilling mushrooms and vegetables from the Mushroom Council:

Get Ready: Before grilling mushrooms and vegetables, preheat the grill, then spray or brush the grates with vegetable oil to prevent vegetables from sticking. If you are not using a marinade, brush mushrooms lightly with olive oil before placing them on the grill.

Straight on the Grill: Toss portobello caps on the grill for a fast, smoky portobello burger. Or grill thickly sliced portobello mushrooms and use them in favorite dishes like salads, wraps, sandwiches or pasta.

Basted or Marinated: Before tossing mushrooms on the grill, marinate or baste them with a light olive oil, or Italian or balsamic dressings. Marinades complement the natural flavor of mushrooms while keeping them moist.

In a Basket: For smaller or more delicate mushroom varieties, a grilling basket is a good choice. It keeps the mushrooms from slipping through the grate while allowing you to get the grilled flavor.

Sauteed: To sautee mushrooms directly on the grill, use a disposable pan or layer several sheets of aluminum foil and crimp the sides to make a shallow pan. Place on the grill and heat a small amount of olive oil or butter. Add a single layer of mushrooms and cook, without stirring, until mushrooms become red-brown on one side. Flip and cook until other side is the same color.

Skewered: A tried and true grilling favorite. For best results, always put similar mushrooms on the same skewer. If you are using multiple varieties, put each on its own skewer. If you're cooking one variety, group the mushrooms by size. Cooking times for different varieties and sizes will vary, so this is the best way to ensure all your mushrooms are perfectly done.

Get Creative: Grilled mushrooms can be even more delicious when paired with fresh herbs. For flavor inside and out, try using rosemary skewers. Look for long sprigs of rosemary with woody stems and threat button mushrooms on the stems for clever presentation that will impress your family and guests.
