How to Make Roasted Garlic Mushrooms
Step 1: Preheat the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 2: Clean the mushrooms. Rinse the mushrooms and pat them dry. Trim the ends of the stems and transfer the mushrooms to a sheet pan.
Step 3: Make the garlic butter mixture. Add the butter to a bowl and melt it in the microwave for 20 seconds. Add the garlic, salt, black pepper, and soy sauce, then whisk well.
Step 4: Coat the mushrooms. Pour the butter mixture over the mushrooms and toss well to coat.
Step 5: Roast the mushrooms. Bake the mushrooms for 15 minutes, stirring them halfway through. If you prefer the mushrooms more cooked, add additional time as needed.
Step 6: Garnish and serve. Remove the mushrooms from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Simple Ways to Change It Up
Roast with onions: Roast sliced onions alongside the mushrooms for extra savory flavor and a touch of sweetness.
Finish with Parmesan: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the mushrooms during the last few minutes of roasting and let it melt before serving.
Spice them up: Mix a pinch of red pepper flakes or your favorite spices into the garlic butter for some heat.
Switch up the fresh herbs: Garnish with fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, or fresh chives instead of parsley for a different herb flavor.
Tips for Perfect Roasted Mushrooms
- Dry them thoroughly. After rinsing, pat the mushrooms well with paper towels. Too much moisture on the mushrooms can cause them to steam instead of brown in the oven.
- Give them room to roast. Use a sheet pan large enough to keep the mushrooms from piling on top of each other. This gives the moisture they release somewhere to evaporate.
- Watch the garlic if roasting longer. If you cook the mushrooms past 15 minutes, check them frequently so the minced garlic doesn’t become too dark or burn.
Common Questions
You can substitute soy sauce with coconut aminos, worcestershire sauce or balsamic vinegar
Roasting garlic mushrooms in the oven is an easy option with very little hands-on time. This recipe roasts them at 400 degrees F for about 15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Yes, you can cook garlic mushrooms in the air fryer. Since air fryers can cook differently, the cooking time may vary depending on the size of the mushrooms and your air fryer. Check them as they cook and remove them when they are tender and browned.
Cremini, baby bella, and white button mushrooms all work well for roasting. You can also use pre-sliced mushrooms if that’s what you have. Since sliced mushrooms cook faster, start checking them earlier and adjust the roasting time as needed.
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover garlic butter mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
You can also freeze them in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 to 4 months. Keep in mind that the mushrooms may be softer after thawing.
To reheat, warm the mushrooms in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring halfway through.
