Ingredients
Scale
Mushrooms
- 1 1/2 pounds cremini or button mushrooms (halved or quartered if large)
Seasoning
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Toss Mushrooms: In a large bowl, combine the mushrooms with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly until the mushrooms are fully and evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the mushrooms in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spread out and not crowded. This helps them roast evenly and develop crisp edges.
- Roast Mushrooms: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the mushrooms for 20 to 25 minutes. Stir the mushrooms once halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and tenderness.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the mushrooms from the oven when they are golden brown and tender. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of freshness before serving.
Notes
- For crispier edges, use a dark metal pan as it helps with better heat conduction.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan; mushrooms should be in a single layer to roast properly and avoid steaming.
- This dish works wonderfully as a side, a savory topping for steak or pasta, or served atop toasted bread.
