Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs mushrooms cremini, shiitake, oyster, or button
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped or 2 teaspoons dried
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar optional
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped for garnish, optional

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the mushrooms, minced garlic, chopped thyme, olive oil, balsamic vinegar (if using), salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the mushrooms in a single layer on a baking sheet. Do not overcrowd.
  4. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and nicely browned, tossing halfway through.

Notes

For best results, don't wash the mushrooms unless absolutely necessary; wipe them clean with a damp paper towel. To avoid mushy mushrooms, ensure the pan isn't overcrowded. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or skillet until warmed through. Add red pepper flakes, cheese, lemon zest, or bacon bits for flavor variations.
