Ingredients For Baked Garlic Mushrooms

Button Mushrooms: Brown button mushrooms are subtle in flavor and can be made with almost any kind of flavors. Since these kinds of mushrooms are so neutral, they are great for absorbing up any extra flavors. You can use portobello, shiitake, morel, cremini, etc.
Olive Oil: Rich olive oil is fragrant and full of rich flavors for the mushrooms. We highly suggest using a good quality oil for these baked mushrooms so they taste the best.
Garlic Cloves: Whole garlic cloves are roasted in the oven with the mushrooms and allow the mushrooms to be extra savory and bold with flavors of garlic. In a pinch, garlic powder will work.
Salt and Pepper: Kosher sea salt and black pepper give these mushrooms a little extra flavor and make them much more enjoyable. Feel free to adjust the seasoning as needed.
Thyme: Optional, but fresh thyme adds a different element to this recipe and tastes amazing atop the mushrooms. Try rosemary, parsley, cilantro, or oregano in place of the thyme.

HOW TO ROAST MUSHROOMS

Mix Ingredients: First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a bowl, mix the cleaned mushrooms with some minced garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil.
Bake Mushrooms: Next, place all of the ingredients on a clean baking sheet and arrange everything in a single layer. Roast the mushrooms for twenty minutes and remove from the oven once done.
Serve: Top the baked mushrooms with the optional thyme and enjoy! Adjust the salt and pepper as needed.
