Here’s a delicious and simple recipe for Garlic Butter Roasted Mushrooms:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound (450g) mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel. Trim any tough stems. If the mushrooms are large, you can halve or quarter them to ensure even roasting.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, olive oil, and minced garlic.
- Season the Mushrooms: Place the mushrooms in a large bowl. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the mushrooms, and add the thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss until the mushrooms are well coated.
- Roast the Mushrooms: Spread the mushrooms out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown. Stir once halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.
- Finish and Serve: Once roasted, remove the mushrooms from the oven. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice, if using. Toss to coat.
- Enjoy: Serve the garlic butter roasted mushrooms hot as a side dish or over a bed of rice or pasta.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can add a splash of white wine to the garlic butter mixture.
- If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning.
- These mushrooms can also be used as a topping for steaks, burgers, or as part of a vegetable medley.
Enjoy your flavorful and aromatic garlic butter roasted mushrooms!
