Ingredient notes

  • mushrooms - Baby bellas and plain white mushrooms work great for this recipe.
  • extra virgin olive oil - or preferred oil
  • white wine vinegar - or any vinegar

  • dried onion flakes - or onion powder
  • Italian seasoning - Make a quick homemade Italian seasoning if you don't have any on hand.
  • sugar
  • crushed red pepper flakes
  • salt and pepper

How to marinate mushrooms

  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.

  • leafy salads
  • pasta salads
  • super bowl foods

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!
