Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 25 minutes Total Time: 35 minutes Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 1 pound (450g) button mushrooms, cleaned and stems trimmed
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
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: Wash the mushrooms thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels. Remove the stems and discard them, or save them for other recipes.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix well to form a flavorful garlic butter sauce.
- Coat the Mushrooms: Place the mushrooms in a large mixing bowl and pour the garlic butter sauce over them. Toss the mushrooms gently, ensuring they are evenly coated with the sauce.
- Arrange on the Baking Sheet: Spread the coated mushrooms in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Try to avoid overcrowding to ensure even roasting.
- Roast the Mushrooms: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the mushrooms for about 20-25 minutes or until they become tender and golden brown. Give them a gentle stir once or twice during the roasting process for even cooking.
- Garnish and Serve: Once the mushrooms are done roasting, remove them from the oven. If desired, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the top for an extra burst of flavor. Transfer the roasted mushrooms to a serving dish and serve them immediately.
