What type of mushrooms should you use for Smoked Mushrooms?

This recipe will be done with whole mushrooms. It’s best to use white button or baby portobello mushrooms.

Be sure to clean them off before proceeding to get any dirt or grime off them. This would be just a light clean and pat dry. These can also be made with garden fresh mushrooms too.

Smoked Mushrooms can be done directly on the grill grates; however, we like to use a grill pan.

This grill pan is actually a great option for a variety of smoked vegetables.

A cast iron pan can also be used, it just needs to be pan that is made for high-heat.

Tips for Making Smoked Mushrooms:

• Use a mild wood pellet to avoid overpowering the mushrooms with smoky flavor.
• Check on them throughout cooking time and/or mix throughout the cooking time to evenly cook.
• Do not overcrowd the pan.
• Finish off the mushrooms with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
• They will be soft around the edges and nicely roasted on top when done.
• If preferred the olive oil can be substituted for grapeseed oil.

Best Wood Pellets for Smoked Mushrooms:

It’s very important to choose the right pellets when making smoked mushrooms. The mushrooms are so soft and tender, that the smoky flavor will soak right into the mushrooms. The key is not to overpower them.

The best options for this recipe for wood pellets are pecan, apple, and cherry. Each of these gives a fruity flavor or a nutty flavor with the pecan wood pellets. It greatly enhances the taste of the mushrooms.

The wood pellets give the balance of flavors to the mushrooms, these choices are smoky, savory, and delicious with the mushroom texture.

Storage Tips for Smoked Mushrooms:

Leftover smoked mushrooms can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When ready to reheat, heat them on medium heat in a skillet, add a little bit more olive oil to the pan if needed.

Mushrooms are naturally soft and soak up the wonderful flavors of the smoky wood pellets, which makes them ideal for low, slow cooking on the smoker or pellet grill. These Smoked Mushrooms are an easy must-have every time you use your pellet grill or smoker!
