Roasted Mushrooms with Olive Oil and Garlic
This easy, 20-minute recipe for roasted mushrooms can be served as a side dish and so much more! Plump, tender roasted mushrooms are seasoned with flavorful olive oil, garlic and fresh herbs, and bake in about 15 minutes.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds mushrooms such as cremini, shiitake, oyster or portobellos or a mixture
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove grated or finely chopped
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- ¼-½ teaspoon crushed red pepper to taste (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 lemon sliced in half
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 (220 C) degrees.
- Trim off thick stems from the mushrooms. Tear or slice the caps into large, bite-size pieces, halves or quarters depending on the size of the caps, and put into a large bowl. Keep in mind that they will shrink quite a bit in the oven.
- Add the olive oil, garlic, ½ teaspoon salt, black and red pepper to the mushrooms and toss to combine. They can marinate up to one day ahead.
- Spread the mushrooms on a rimmed baking sheet in one layer without crowding. Use an additional pan if needed. Bake 10 minutes, then stir the mushrooms around in the pan. Bake an additional 5-8 minutes, until the mushrooms look wrinkled, have released their liquid and are crisp on the edges.
- Squeeze the lemon halves over the mushrooms. Scrape the bottom of the pan to release the brown bits. Transfer the mushrooms to a serving bowl or platter, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Notes
- Roasted mushrooms will keep up to 5 days, refrigerated. They may also be frozen up to a month, but they will exude more moisture when they're defrosted and reheated.
- Optional flavor add-ins: Add a pinch of crushed red chili pepper and thinly sliced shallot to the mushrooms before roasting, and/or drizzle with a little balsamic vinegar before serving.
- Use them as a filling for an omelet, taco, or panini. Make a marinated mushrooms salad: Toss the mushrooms with homemade balsamic vinaigrette and sturdy greens. Top your pizza dough or focaccia.
