Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs mixed mushrooms cremini, shiitake, oyster, etc.
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish optional

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups
  • Large baking sheet
  • spatula
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Clean the mushrooms gently with a damp cloth or brush. Avoid soaking them in water.
  3. Slice or quarter the mushrooms, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the sliced mushrooms, minced garlic, olive oil, avocado oil, thyme leaves, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  5. Toss well to ensure the mushrooms are evenly coated.
  6. Spread the mushrooms in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the pan; if necessary, use two baking sheets.
  7. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and browned, stirring halfway through.
  8. Remove the mushrooms from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
  9. Serve immediately as a side dish or use in other recipes.

Notes

Feel free to use any combination of mushrooms you like. Roasting at a high temperature is crucial for browning the mushrooms and preventing them from becoming soggy. Spreading the mushrooms in a single layer on the baking sheet is essential for even cooking and browning. Leftover roasted mushrooms can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. These Garlic Thyme Roasted Mushrooms are delicious served as a side dish, or they can be added to pasta dishes, salads, or omelets.
