If you’re wondering what to make for lunch or a quick dinner, oven-roasted mushrooms are a fantastic option. This simple meatless recipe is ready in about 20 minutes and delivers rich, savory flavor with very little effort. The mushrooms can be served as a main dish or as a tasty side, and you can use button mushrooms, cremini, or any variety you like.
Ingredients:
- 2 lb fresh mushrooms (button or cremini)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the mushrooms and toss well so they are evenly coated with the marinade.
- Spread the mushrooms in a lightly oiled baking dish or sheet pan in a single layer.
- Roast in the oven for 18–20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the mushrooms are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Serve warm as a main meatless dish or as a flavorful side.
