Roasted Mushrooms

With a deep flavor and golden edges, roasted mushrooms are a quick and easy way to transform an everyday vegetable into a delicious side dish.

Flavor: Roasted mushrooms have lots of umami (savory flavor) with garlic and soy sauce.
Skill level: Just season, roast, and serve. How easy is that?
Technique: Roast at a high temperature and place the flat side down to get caramelized edges.
Prep Note: Wipe mushrooms with a damp paper towel or soft brush to remove dirt—don’t soak them. Excess moisture keeps them from browning properly in the oven.
Serving suggestions: Roasted mushrooms add visual appeal as a standalone dish or alongside any protein.

Ingredient Tips for Roasted Mushrooms

Mushrooms – Use any type of mushroom for this recipe, adjusting the size if they’re smaller or larger. Cremini or baby bellas tend to have a deeper flavor.

Seasonings – Soy sauce and garlic bring a savory, umami flavor, while a bit of salt and pepper adds just the right balance. A touch of butter at the end makes everything rich and flavorful.

Variations

In addition to parsley, try other fresh herbs like sprigs of sage, rosemary, and fresh thyme between the mushrooms on the baking sheet. Keep some fresh sprigs behind to chop up and add as a garnish to the finished dish.
A drizzle of balsamic vinegar or glaze gives an extra pop of flavor to this dish.

Roasted mushrooms can be served as an appetizer with a drizzle of homemade garlic aioli or a creamy tahini sauce. They also add steakhouse flair when served next to a juicy sirloin or next to a classic burger.
