- 1 lb (450g) mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, and button) - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter - 4 cloves garlic, minced - 2 tablespoons olive oil - 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme) - 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped - Salt and pepper to taste - Zest of 1 lemon Best types of mushrooms for roasting I love using a mix of cremini, shiitake, and button mushrooms. Each type brings its own flavor. Cremini mushrooms are earthy and firm. Shiitake mushrooms add a nice umami taste. Button mushrooms are mild and absorb flavors well. This mix makes the dish truly special. Substitutions for butter and oil If you need to avoid butter, use ghee or vegan butter. You can also use coconut oil for a different flavor. For olive oil, avocado oil works great too. These swaps still give you a tasty result! First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will make sure your mushrooms cook well. While the oven heats, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This helps with easy cleanup later. Next, clean the mushrooms. Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to wipe off dirt. Trim the stems if needed. You want them ready for the tasty coating. Now, grab a large mixing bowl. Add the cleaned mushrooms, olive oil, and melted butter. Then, add minced garlic, thyme, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together. Make sure the mushrooms get coated evenly. Spread the mushrooms on the baking sheet in a single layer. Don't crowd them! This helps them roast evenly and get that nice golden color. Roast the mushrooms for 20-25 minutes. Halfway through, flip them. This step ensures they cook well on both sides. When they look tender and golden brown, they are ready to enjoy! To make your garlic butter roasted mushrooms shine, focus on even seasoning. Start by mixing the mushrooms well with olive oil and melted butter. This helps every piece get coated. Use fresh garlic for the best taste. It adds a rich flavor that dried garlic can't match. For herbs, fresh thyme is a winner. It complements the mushrooms well. If you use dried thyme, remember it's stronger. You can use half the amount of dried to get the same flavor. A touch of lemon zest brightens the dish. It gives a fresh burst that makes the mushrooms pop. Get creative with how you serve your garlic butter roasted mushrooms. They work well as a side for grilled meats, pasta, or risotto. You can even toss them into a salad for added flavor. Pairing these mushrooms is easy. Try them with a steak for a hearty meal. They also go great with fish, adding a savory touch. Don’t forget a sprinkle of parsley on top for color. This small step makes the dish look fancy and inviting. {{image_2}} You can change up the flavor of garlic butter roasted mushrooms easily. One great way is to add cheese. Grated Parmesan gives a nice salty taste. Feta adds a creamy and tangy twist. Just sprinkle your chosen cheese on top after roasting. Another way to boost flavor is with herbs. Fresh rosemary pairs well with mushrooms. You can also try basil for a sweet hint. Just add your herbs to the mixing bowl with the garlic and butter. This will fill the mushrooms with more taste. You don't have to roast mushrooms for this dish. Sautéing them on the stovetop is a quick option. Heat some olive oil in a pan and add the mushrooms. Cook them for about 10 minutes, stirring often. This method gives you a different texture and flavor. Grilling is another fun way to cook mushrooms. Toss them in the garlic butter mix and place them on a grill. Cook until they are tender and have nice grill marks. This adds a smoky taste that is hard to beat. Feel free to experiment with these ideas to find your favorite twist on garlic butter roasted mushrooms! To store leftover garlic butter roasted mushrooms, use an airtight container. Glass or plastic containers work well. Let the mushrooms cool to room temperature before sealing. This helps keep moisture out. Store in the fridge for up to three days. If you want to save them longer, consider freezing. Place the mushrooms in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can last up to three months in the freezer. When it's time to enjoy your leftovers, reheating is key. The best way to reheat roasted mushrooms is in the oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the mushrooms on a baking sheet, ensuring they have space. Heat for about 10 minutes or until warm. This method helps keep the mushrooms crispy. You can also use a skillet on low heat. Add a little olive oil or butter to prevent sticking. Stir gently to maintain texture and flavor. Avoid using the microwave, as it can make the mushrooms soggy. Reheating properly will make your garlic butter roasted mushrooms taste fresh again! Can I use different types of mushrooms? Yes, you can use many types of mushrooms. Cremini, shiitake, and button mushrooms work well together. You can also try portobello or oyster mushrooms. Each type adds its own taste and texture. Mixing them gives a nice variety to your dish. How do I know when the mushrooms are done roasting? Mushrooms are done when they are tender and golden brown. This usually takes about 20 to 25 minutes in the oven. Flipping them halfway helps them cook evenly. You can poke them with a fork; if they are soft, they are ready. Can I make this recipe ahead of time? You can prepare the mushrooms in advance. Clean and coat them, then store them in the fridge. When you are ready to cook, just roast them in the oven. This makes it easy for last-minute meals or gatherings. Garlic butter roasted mushrooms are simple and fun to make. You learned about the best ingredients, tips for flavoring, and cooking methods. Each step brings a delicious dish to life.
