Garlic Peppered Mushrooms is a recipe I can remember my mom making about the time I was in high school. At the time, I thought I did not like mushrooms so I refused to eat them. I am not sure if I willingly ate one or if my mom made all us kids try them at one point. But at some point I tried one and I am so glad I did. These mushrooms are amazing! Typically my Mom served these with a pasta dish. But really they would go well with any grilled food as a side as well.

Variations

  • You can use sliced or whole mushrooms. The sliced mushrooms may cook faster.
  • I did not have the actual garlic pepper seasoning in my kitchen so I used garlic powder, pepper, and salt.
  • You can easily double or triple this recipe and it will turn out great. I actually doubled the recipe in my pictures.
