Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (450g) button or cremini mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
- 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel or rinsing them briefly. Trim off any tough stems if needed.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Add the mushrooms to the bowl and toss them until they’re fully coated with the garlic butter mixture.
- Spread the mushrooms evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid crowding them to ensure proper roasting.
- Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through. The mushrooms should be golden brown and tender when done.
- Remove from the oven and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired.
- Serve immediately while warm and aromatic.
Notes
Ensure mushrooms are spread out in a single layer to avoid steaming. For extra flavor, add balsamic vinegar or grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
