Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. - Prepare Garlic Butter Mixture:
In a bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Add red pepper flakes if desired. - Toss Mushrooms:
