Ingredients
Mushrooms
1poundmushrooms (button or cremini), wiped clean and halved if large
Garlic
4-5clovesgarlic, minced
Olive Oil
2tablespoonsolive oil
Seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
Balsamic Vinegar
1tablespoonbalsamic vinegar (optional, for a tangy touch)
Fresh Herbs
Fresh herbs (like thyme or parsley), chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). While the oven heats up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel. If they are on the larger side, slice them in half; smaller mushrooms can be left whole.
In a large bowl, toss the mushrooms with the minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. If using balsamic vinegar, add it here for an extra layer of flavor.
Spread the mushroom mixture in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the mushrooms are golden and tender and the garlic is fragrant.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Finish with a generous sprinkle of fresh chopped herbs like parsley or thyme.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure even roasting. Fresh herbs enhance the flavor significantly.
