Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound cremini or button mushrooms
Flavor Enhancers:
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Seasoning:
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- Fresh parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F (200C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for your mushrooms.
- Clean 1 pound of cremini or button mushrooms carefully with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt.
- Mince 3 cloves of garlic and combine them in a small bowl with 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar.
- Place the mushrooms in a large mixing bowl and pour the prepared sauce over them, gently tossing until each mushroom is completely coated.
- Spread the mushrooms in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded or touching each other.
- Roast the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring them halfway through to guarantee even browning and caramelization.
- Check the mushrooms are golden brown and tender before removing them from the oven.
- Transfer the roasted mushrooms to a serving dish and drizzle any remaining sauce from the baking sheet on top.
- Optional: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the mushrooms for added color and flavor.
Notes
- Choose cremini or button mushrooms for the best texture and flavor absorption.
- Ensure mushrooms are completely dry after cleaning to help them roast and caramelize properly.
- For a gluten-free version, replace soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
- Swap honey with maple syrup to make the recipe vegan-friendly and add a different depth of sweetness.
