Ingredients
Scale
Mushrooms
- 1 1/2 pounds whole mushrooms (cremini or button), cleaned and trimmed
Marinade
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
Garnish
- Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (205°C) to prepare for roasting the mushrooms.
- Make the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, thyme, black pepper, and a pinch of salt to create a flavorful coating.
- Coat the Mushrooms: Add the cleaned and trimmed mushrooms to the bowl and toss them well until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the mushrooms out in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the mushrooms for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through to promote even caramelization and tenderness.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the mushrooms from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot as a side dish or over grains, pasta, or toast.
Notes
- These mushrooms make a delicious accompaniment to rice, quinoa, or pasta dishes.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes during marinating.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to keep the sodium content moderate.
- Ensure mushrooms are spread out on the baking sheet so they roast evenly rather than steam.
