Ingredients
Scale
Mushrooms
- 16 oz whole mushrooms (washed and patted dry)
Garlic Butter Mixture
- 6 cloves of garlic (minced)
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Garnish
- Fresh chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it is hot enough to roast the mushrooms to a nice golden brown.
- Prepare Mushrooms: Trim the ends off the mushrooms with a knife to remove any tough parts, then place the whole mushrooms on a baking sheet spread out evenly.
- Melt Butter and Garlic: Combine the butter and minced garlic in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds or until the butter is fully melted and fragrant.
- Season Butter Mixture: To the melted garlic butter, add salt, dried basil, and pepper, stirring well with a spoon to blend all flavors evenly.
- Coat Mushrooms: Drizzle the seasoned garlic butter over the mushrooms, making sure each mushroom is coated well for maximum flavor.
- Roast Mushrooms: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring the mushrooms at least once or twice during cooking until they are browned and sizzling.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the mushrooms from the oven and optionally sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top before serving to add a fresh herby touch.
Notes
- Ensure mushrooms are dried thoroughly before roasting to prevent sogginess and encourage browning.
- Stir mushrooms during roasting to cook them evenly and avoid burning on one side.
- Butter can be substituted with olive oil to make the dish dairy-free.
- For added flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice or white wine before roasting.
- This recipe pairs well with grilled meats, pasta dishes, or as a topping for toasted bread or steaks.
