Scale
Ingredients
- 1 pound mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for roasting the mushrooms evenly.
- Toss Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the mushrooms with olive oil, minced garlic, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss well to coat all mushrooms evenly.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the seasoned mushrooms in a single layer on a baking dish, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow proper roasting.
- Roast Mushrooms: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes. Stir the mushrooms halfway through cooking to ensure they roast evenly and absorb the flavors well.
- Serve or Store: Once roasted to a juicy, tender perfection with a deep umami flavor, serve immediately or let cool for storage in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in oven or skillet and sprinkle fresh herbs before serving for enhanced flavor.
Notes
- Use button or cremini mushrooms for the best texture and flavor.
- Fresh thyme can be used instead of dried for a more vibrant herb taste.
- Reheat gently in the oven or on the stovetop to preserve texture.
- Do not overcrowd the baking dish to ensure mushrooms roast properly rather than steam.
- Adjust garlic quantity based on taste preference for milder or stronger flavor.
