Roasted Mushrooms

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450 g) mushrooms (button, cremini, or mixed)

• 3 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter for richness)

• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 tsp fresh thyme or rosemary (or 1/2 tsp dried)

• Salt & black pepper, to taste

• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

• Optional: 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar or lemon juice for brightness

Instructions

1. Preheat oven: Set to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.

2. Prepare mushrooms: Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. If large, cut in half or quarters; if small, leave whole.

3. Season: Toss mushrooms with olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

4. Roast: Spread mushrooms in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring once halfway, until golden and tender.

5. Finish & serve: Drizzle with balsamic vinegar or lemon juice (optional), sprinkle with parsley, and serve hot.
