Roasted Mushrooms With Garlic

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) cremini or button mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp melted butter (optional for extra richness)
• 1 tsp fresh thyme or rosemary, finely chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare mushrooms: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mushrooms, minced garlic, olive oil, and melted butter (if using). Add the thyme or rosemary, and season with salt and pepper. Toss everything together until the mushrooms are evenly coated.
3. Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the seasoned mushrooms in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. This ensures even roasting and helps them brown nicely.
4. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the mushrooms are golden and tender.
5. Serve: Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot, and enjoy!

Tips

For extra flavor, try adding a splash of balsamic vinegar or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese before serving. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat. Leftover mushrooms can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in a skillet over medium heat.

These Roasted Mushrooms With Garlic are a versatile and delicious dish that can elevate any meal. Whether you’re serving them as a side, appetizer, or main dish addition, their earthy, garlicky flavor is sure to impress!
