Ingredients
Scale
Mushrooms
- 1 lb mushrooms (button or cremini), cleaned and halved
Marinade
- 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
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy cleanup.
- 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, ensuring a well-balanced, savory flavor.
- Marinate Mushrooms: Add the cleaned and halved mushrooms to the bowl with the marinade. Toss them thoroughly so each mushroom piece is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Roast Mushrooms: Spread the marinated mushrooms in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting until they become tender and wonderfully caramelized.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the mushrooms from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve warm as a delicious and aromatic side dish.
Notes
- Use button or cremini mushrooms; both work well and offer a slightly different flavor profile.
- Make sure to stir the mushrooms halfway through roasting for even cooking and caramelization.
- Fresh thyme can be used instead of dried; adjust quantity accordingly as fresh herbs are milder.
- These mushrooms can be served as a side dish or tossed into salads, pasta, or grain bowls.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
