Prep the mushrooms
Trim the Stems – Cut the tip off the mushroom stems for a clean, even texture. Clean the Mushrooms – Use a damp paper towel to gently wipe off any dirt. Avoid rinsing with water, as mushrooms absorb moisture and can become soggy. Cut the Mushrooms – Keep small mushrooms whole, and cut any large ones in half to ensure even marination.
