3 hrsThese Italian-style marinated mushrooms are the ultimate make-ahead appetizer.
Thinly sliced fresh mushrooms bathe in a tangy marinade of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and fresh parsley for at least 3 hours in the fridge. The acid tenderizes the mushrooms while infusing them with bright, savory flavor that only gets better as they sit.
Serve them straight from the bowl with toothpicks or pile them on crostini for an effortless antipasto that looks like you tried.
Pro Tips
- Slice mushrooms uniformly thin, about ⅛ inch, so they marinate evenly
- Use a glass or plastic bowl to prevent the lemon juice from reacting with metal
- Stir the mushrooms occasionally while chilling to ensure all slices absorb the marinade
- Drain with a slotted spoon before serving to avoid pooling liquid on the platter
