Jerk Oyster Mushrooms

Description

Oyster mushrooms get a Caribbean-inspired makeover with bold jerk spices, garlic, lime, and thyme. Grilled or roasted until smoky and slightly crisp at the edges, these mushrooms make a delicious plant-based alternative to jerk chicken — flavorful, spicy, and satisfying.
