I'm dedicating this scrumptious recipe to my dad who loves mushrooms that are marinated! They're the perfect accessory to just about anything you would serve for just about any occasion. Who doesn't love zesty Italian marinated mushrooms next to these baked chicken thighs or spinach artichoke dip!

Marinated mushroom recipe ingredients

  • mushrooms - I used baby bellas (you can use white mushrooms too)
  • extra virgin olive oil - or preferred oil
  • white wine vinegar - or any vinegar
  • fresh garlic - you could use garlic powder, but fresh garlic rules!
  • dried onion flakes - or onion powder
  • Italian seasoning - storebought or make your own
  • cane sugar - optional
  • crushed red pepper flakes
  • salt and pepper

How to marinate mushrooms

  1. Slice mushrooms into halves or quarters (or leave whole if they're small enough).
  2. Briefly saute the mushrooms in oil over medium heat until tender; allow to cool.
  3. Whisk together ingredients for Italian vinaigrette.
  4. Place mushrooms in a storage container and pour the vinaigrette over the mushrooms.
  5. Refrigerate and marinate up to 5 days, stirring as needed. Serve chilled.

How to serve marinated mushrooms

Serve these juicy mushrooms in or next to:

  • leafy salads
  • pasta salads
  • super bowl foods
  • chicken entrees
  • pulled pork
  • antipasto appetizer platter
  • snacks

Do marinated mushrooms need to be refrigerated?

Yes, they do need to be refrigerated. Once they have been marinated, the vinegar starts to break the mushrooms down. If they're not held in refrigeration, they can spoil quickly.

How long can you marinate mushrooms?

These mushrooms last up to five days in the refrigerator. Every day, the flavor only deepens, making them more addictive. According to my dad though, they won't make it 5 days because you can't help yourself eating them one by one.

    Can you reuse the marinade?

      Hi Therese, I serve the mushrooms in the marinade and discard it when they're gone. I haven't tried reusing it. Please let me know if you do. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you on that one.

    I think these marinated mushrooms would taste amazing on pasta or even an alfredo pasta. It would kick the flavor up a notch.

    My sister loves marinated mushrooms so much that when she was little, she cried when they were gone. Your recipe looks really delicious and easy. The hardest part will be waiting for them to marinate in the fridge!
