Spanish Chili Garlic Mushrooms | Easy 20 Minute One-Pan Recipe

These Spanish Chili Garlic Mushrooms are seriously addictive. They´re packed with flavors, easy to make and done in under 30 minutes. Serve them as a tapas appetizer or pour them over some pasta for an incredible meal.

Chili Garlic Mushrooms
What makes these Chili Garlic Mushrooms stand out is the technique on how to cook the mushrooms. First you sear them on a high heat, which gives them a beautiful crusty sear and removes all their water content. Then you mix them with the chili garlic sauce. This gives the mushrooms a firm texture and ensures they won´t get mushy or soggy.

Chili Garlic Mushrooms
To make this recipe, I used button mushrooms. But you can also use baby portabella mushrooms. Either way, I always like to give the mushrooms a quick rinse under cold water, just for a couple seconds. This makes it so much easier to remove the excess dirt from the mushrooms when you pat them dry.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: The red chili I used in this recipe, was a Spanish red chili. Which is very mild in heat. But you can use any type of red chili you like.

    Excellent recipe. This is one of my favorite veggie appetizers, along with your zucchini bites w/ garlic and parsley topping. Everyone enjoys these and so impressed that the appetizers are light and healthy. We appreciate your straight-forward instruction videos.
