Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Toss with Olive Oil: Place the mushrooms in a mixing bowl and add the olive oil, tossing quickly to coat all mushrooms evenly.
  4. Season Mushrooms: Sprinkle salt, fresh cracked black pepper, and garlic powder over the mushrooms and toss again to distribute the seasoning thoroughly.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Prepare Garlic Butter: While the mushrooms are baking, melt the salted butter in a small bowl and mix in the pressed garlic.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
