Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 lb mushrooms (button or cremini), cleaned and halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the mushrooms do not stick during roasting.
- Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and thyme. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste to create a flavorful marinade.
- Marinate Mushrooms: Add the cleaned and halved mushrooms to the bowl with the marinade. Toss thoroughly to coat all mushrooms evenly, allowing them to absorb the rich flavors.
- Roast Mushrooms: Spread the marinated mushrooms in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking to ensure even caramelization and tenderness.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove roasted mushrooms from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm as a delicious side dish or appetizer.
Notes
- Use either button or cremini mushrooms based on availability and preference.
- For a stronger herb flavor, use fresh thyme instead of dried thyme.
- Make sure to stir the mushrooms halfway through roasting to promote even cooking and caramelization.
- These mushrooms pair beautifully with grilled meats, pasta dishes, or as a topping for toasted bread.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Adjust salt level as soy sauce already contains salt.
