Mushrooms and Seasoning
- 24 oz crimini mushrooms (baby bella mushrooms)
- 1 tsp fresh cracked black pepper (to taste)
- 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt (to taste)
Oils and Butter
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp salted butter (melted)
- 1 garlic clove (pressed)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a large rimmed baking sheet that can fit all the mushrooms in a single even layer.
- Prepare Mushrooms: Cut off the bottoms of the mushroom stems and wipe each mushroom clean using a damp paper towel. Slice larger mushrooms in half to ensure even roasting.
- Toss with Olive Oil: Place the mushrooms in a mixing bowl and add the olive oil, tossing quickly to coat all mushrooms evenly.
- Season Mushrooms: Sprinkle salt, fresh cracked black pepper, and garlic powder over the mushrooms and toss again to distribute the seasoning thoroughly.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the mushrooms in one even layer on the prepared baking sheet, placing each mushroom stem side down for optimal roasting.
- Roast Mushrooms: Bake for 20–25 minutes, removing the baking sheet halfway through to strain off the liquid released by the mushrooms, then return it promptly to the oven to maintain heat.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: While the mushrooms are baking, melt the salted butter in a small bowl and mix in the pressed garlic.
- Toss with Garlic Butter: After roasting, transfer the mushrooms to a clean mixing bowl and toss them with the garlic butter mixture to coat thoroughly.
- Serve: Serve the roasted mushrooms immediately while warm as a savory side or topping.
Notes
- Use fresh mushrooms for best texture and flavor.
- Removing the liquid halfway through roasting helps the mushrooms caramelize better.
- You can substitute salted butter with unsalted butter and add salt separately to control sodium levels.
- Adjust garlic powder and pressed garlic amounts to taste for varying garlic intensities.
- Serve as a side dish for meats, salads, or pasta for a flavorful boost.
