When it comes to preparing your mushrooms for roasting, proper cleaning and trimming is essential. Mushrooms can collect dirt and debris, so it’s important to clean them gently. Start by using a damp paper towel or a soft brush to wipe off any dirt from the caps and stems. Avoid soaking mushrooms in water, as they are porous and can absorb moisture, which can affect their texture during cooking.

Ingredients
  

1 pound (450g) fresh mushrooms (such as cremini or button)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)

1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Juice of 1/2 lemon

Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (for a spicy kick)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Trim the stems if necessary and leave the mushrooms whole or halve them if they are larger.

      Make Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant, but be careful not to let it brown.

        Combine and Season: In a large mixing bowl, toss the cleaned mushrooms with olive oil, the garlic butter mixture (reserve some for drizzling later), salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

          Roast the Mushrooms: Spread the mushrooms in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender, tossing halfway through for even cooking.

            Finish with Flavor: Once out of the oven, drizzle the lemon juice over the roasted mushrooms and toss gently. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

              Garnish and Serve: Transfer the roasted mushrooms to a serving platter, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm as a delicious side dish or appetizer!
