Easy Oven Roasted Mushrooms

Elena Butuc

This is a straightforward and simple recipe. Honestly, I hadn't thought of making it before, but I recently discovered how flavorful and delightful these simple oven-baked mushrooms can be. They are quick, healthy, dietary, and delicious.

You can serve these mushrooms with almost anything—whether as a side dish, main course, appetizer, or whatever else suits the occasion. I often prepare them as an appetizer for guests who are fasting or vegetarian.

●

White mushrooms

1 kg

note that they shrink by about half during baking

●

Olive oil

2 tbsp

●

Salt and pepper

1 tsp

to taste

Step by step

Step 1

Wash the mushrooms thoroughly and clean them well.

Step 2

Preheat the oven and lightly grease the baking pan with a little oil.

Step 3

Spread the mushrooms in the pan, making sure they're in a single layer—avoid overcrowding.

Step 4

Place the pan in the oven—you’ll notice the mushrooms release water and shrink. To speed up the process, carefully drain the excess liquid midway through cooking.

Step 5

Continue baking until the mushrooms start to brown. Occasionally remove the pan and shake it to ensure even browning, or stir them with a spoon or spatula.
