THESE ROASTED GARLIC BUTTER MUSHROOMS

 

 

 

Ingredients:

1 lb whole button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried thyme (or fresh thyme, chopped)
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp lemon juice (optional for added brightness)

Instructions:

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Prepare the mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Trim the stems if necessary.

Make the garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add a splash of lemon juice for extra brightness, if desired.

Toss the mushrooms: Place the mushrooms in a large bowl and pour the garlic butter mixture over them. Toss to coat the mushrooms evenly.

Roast the mushrooms: Spread the mushrooms in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are golden and tender, stirring halfway through cooking.

Garnish and serve: Once the mushrooms are done roasting, remove them from the oven and toss with fresh parsley. Serve hot as a side dish, or enjoy as an appetizer with crusty bread.

Helpful Tips:
For a deeper flavor, add a splash of balsamic vinegar or white wine to the garlic butter mixture before roasting.
