Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450g) mushrooms (cremini, button, or shiitake), cleaned and halved (or left whole if small)

• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 4 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1 tsp dried thyme)

• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

• ½ tsp salt (or to taste)

• ¼ tsp black pepper

• ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

• 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
  

  Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven:

     • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce:

     • In a small bowl, mix melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, parsley, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

  3. Coat the Mushrooms:

     • Place the mushrooms in a large mixing bowl and pour the garlic butter sauce over them. Toss well to coat evenly.

  4. Roast the Mushrooms:

     • Spread the mushrooms in a single layer on a baking sheet (lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup).

     • Roast for 18-20 minutes, stirring halfway, until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender.

  5. Finish & Serve:

     • Drizzle with lemon juice (if using) and sprinkle with extra parsley and Parmesan cheese (optional).

     • Serve warm as a side dish, over pasta, or with crusty bread to soak up the garlic butter sauce.

  Tips:

  • For extra caramelization, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end (watch closely to avoid burning).

  • Substitute herbs with rosemary or oregano for variation.

  • Add a splash of white wine to the butter sauce for extra flavor.
