Ingredients:

  • 1 pound (450g) cremini or white button mushrooms, cleaned and halved if large
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or lemon juice, for added flavor

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Prepare the Garlic Butter Mixture:
    In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Stir until the ingredients are well combined.
  3. Season the Mushrooms:
    Add the mushrooms to the bowl, tossing until they are evenly coated with the garlic butter mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add balsamic vinegar or lemon juice, if desired, for an extra zing.
  4. Roast the Mushrooms:
    Spread the seasoned mushrooms in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the mushrooms are golden brown and caramelized.
  5. Serve and Garnish:
    Remove the mushrooms from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy!
