Ingredients
Scale
500 g mushrooms (button or cremini), wiped clean and halved
3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 Tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Optional: 1 Tbsp lemon juice or 1 tsp lemon zest for brightness
Instructions
Preheat oven to 200 °C (400 °F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and optional lemon juice or zest.
Add mushrooms and toss to coat evenly.
Spread mushrooms in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut‑side up.
Roast for 15–20 minutes, stirring halfway, until mushrooms are golden brown and tender.
Remove from oven and transfer to a serving dish.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy warm.
Notes
Use a mix of mushroom varieties (shiitake, oyster, portobello slices) for deeper flavor.
Don’t crowd the pan—roast in batches if needed to allow browning.
Add a splash of white wine or balsamic vinegar after roasting for extra depth.
Make ahead: roast mushrooms, cool, then reheat briefly before serving.
