I don’t know about that, but I DO know that it is delicious!

Traeger Grilled Lion’s Mane Mushroom Recipe

We love a good side dish, and this one quickly became one of my favorites! Fresh Lion’s Mane Mushrooms are all the rage, and the perfect thing to toss onto your pellet grill. Mushrooms + wood fire are a perfect match, so we drizzled these with a little olive oil, gave them some seasoning, and then roasted them for 15-20 minutes on the Traeger before getting the best sweet and tangy balsamic drizzle!

Lion’s Mane mushrooms are often lauded for their unique flavor and texture. The taste is sometimes described as mild and slightly sweet, with a flavor that’s been compared to seafood, like crab or lobster. This is likely why it’s occasionally used as a vegetarian substitute for these kinds of dishes.

As for the texture, it’s tender and slightly chewy, mirroring that of cooked seafood. When cooked, the mushroom’s “spines” (which resemble a lion’s mane) tend to crisp up, providing a pleasing contrast to the softer interior.

Overall, Lion’s Mane mushrooms offer a unique experience that can add a distinctive touch to various dishes, whether they’re sautéed, roasted, or incorporated into soups and sauces.
