Mushrooms serve as the heart of this dish, offering a robust flavor that pairs perfectly with the aromatic elements of garlic and herbs. When it comes to choosing the right mushrooms, button and cremini varieties are among the most popular options. Button mushrooms, with their mild flavor and smooth texture, are easily accessible and add a subtle earthiness to the dish. Cremini mushrooms, also known as baby bella mushrooms, are a step up in terms of flavor, boasting a deeper, more intense taste. Their slightly firmer texture also holds up beautifully during the roasting process.

Ingredients
  

1 pound (450g) fresh button or cremini mushrooms, cleaned and stems trimmed

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Zest of 1 lemon (optional, for an extra zing)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). To facilitate easy cleanup, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Mushrooms: In a spacious bowl, place the cleaned mushrooms. If any of the mushrooms are particularly large, slice them in half or quarters to ensure they cook evenly.

      Create the Herb Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, oregano, rosemary, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk together until the ingredients are thoroughly blended.

        Coat the Mushrooms: Drizzle the garlic herb mixture over the mushrooms in the large bowl. Gently toss the mushrooms until they are uniformly coated with the herb-infused oil.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Transfer the seasoned mushrooms to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer. Ensure there's enough space between each mushroom for optimal roasting instead of steaming.

            Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the mushrooms for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and beautifully golden brown. Stir the mushrooms halfway through the cooking process to promote even roasting.

              Finishing Touches: Once the mushrooms are finished roasting, remove them from the oven. For an added burst of flavor, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley and lemon zest over the mushrooms while they are still warm.

                Serve: Carefully transfer the roasted mushrooms to a serving dish. Enjoy them warm as a delicious side dish, a tempting appetizer, or a flavorful topping for salads and grain bowls!

                    - Presentation Tips: Serve the mushrooms in a rustic bowl and drizzle a little extra olive oil on top. Garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley for color. A lemon wedge on the side can enhance the visual appeal while providing the option for an extra squeeze of lemon when served.
