Ingredients
Scale
Mushrooms
- 16 oz whole mushrooms (washed and patted dry)
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 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 get it ready for roasting the mushrooms.
- Prepare Mushrooms: Trim the ends off the mushrooms using a knife, then arrange them evenly on a baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
- Melt Butter and Prepare Sauce: Add the butter and minced garlic to a bowl and microwave for 30 seconds or until the butter is fully melted, allowing the garlic to infuse the butter with flavor.
- Season the Butter Mixture: Stir in salt, dried basil, and pepper into the melted garlic butter until well combined, creating a flavorful roasting sauce.
- Coat Mushrooms: Drizzle the garlic butter mixture evenly over the mushrooms on the baking sheet, ensuring each mushroom is well coated.
- Roast Mushrooms: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the mushrooms for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring at least once or twice during cooking to promote even browning and sizzling texture.
- Garnish and Serve: Optional step to sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the roasted mushrooms for a fresh, herby finish before serving.
Notes
- Ensure mushrooms are patted dry to help them brown nicely in the oven.
- Stirring the mushrooms during roasting helps them cook evenly and develop a beautiful caramelized surface.
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor; garlic powder will not provide the same depth.
- Butter can be substituted with a plant-based alternative for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper, depending on your preference.
- Serve these mushrooms as a side dish with steaks, chicken, or on toasted bread as an appetizer.
