Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Mixing bowl
- Oven
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 1 lb mushrooms (button, cremini, Swiss brown, or portobello)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1.5 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves or chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (220°C), or 400°F (200°C) for fan-forced ovens.
- Clean mushrooms gently with a damp cloth. Leave small mushrooms whole and halve larger ones. Leave portobellos intact.
- In a bowl, mix melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Add mushrooms to the bowl and toss until fully coated.
- Arrange mushrooms in a single layer on a baking sheet. Avoid crowding.
- Roast for 25 minutes without stirring or opening the oven. Mushrooms will caramelize and release flavorful juices.
- Drizzle with optional lemon juice and sprinkle with thyme or parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
Do not soak mushrooms—wipe clean instead. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Use fresh garlic for best flavor.
