How to Prepare Grilled Maple-Tamari Shiitakes [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Heat a gas grill to medium heat. Scrape the grill grates clean while the grill is heating up. If you have a grill topper and want to use it, put it on the grill to preheat.
Meanwhile, whisk together the maple syrup, tamari, peanut oil, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic in a wide, shallow bowl. Add the Shiitake caps and toss. Let sit, stirring and tossing occasionally, while the grill heats up, about 20 minutes (but don’t marinate for much longer than 30 minutes).
Arrange the mushroom caps, stem side up, directly on the grill grate or on a grill topper. Cover the grill and cook until the bottoms of the mushrooms are darkened or well marked, about 3-4 minutes. Try not to disturb them for the first few minutes, or they might tear. Use tongs to turn the mushrooms over, and cook until the other side is just golden, 1-2 minutes more.
