Garlic Parmesan Roasted Mushrooms
Description
Garlic Parmesan Roasted Mushrooms starts with cleaning and trimming the mushrooms, then coating them evenly in melted butter combined with smashed and minced fresh garlic. The mushroom pieces are seasoned with a carefully balanced mixture of dried oregano, basil, thyme, allspice, sea salt, and black pepper before being spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roasting at 400°F for about 20 minutes cooks the mushrooms thoroughly while allowing them to develop a golden, slightly crisp exterior and tender inside. The final step adds freshly grated Parmesan cheese, which melts slightly, lending salty richness, along with optional fresh parsley, thyme, or red pepper flakes for color and heat.
The dish works well as a side or appetizer, served warm for best flavor and texture. The combination of buttery garlic, herb seasoning, and Parmesan highlights the mushrooms’ natural umami and earthiness without overwhelming them.
Because salt levels can vary with butter and cheese, seasoning is advised to be adjusted by taste. Using fresh garlic provides a sharper garlic flavor. Avoid washing mushrooms under water to prevent sogginess; use a damp cloth instead. This recipe is straightforward, requiring only roasting and simple preparation.
Ingredients
- 32 oz mushrooms cremini or white button
- 4-6 TBSP butter unsalted
- 6 cloves garlic smashed and finely minced, fresh
- ½ tsp oregano dried
- ¼ tsp basil dried
- ¼ tsp thyme dried
- ¼ tsp allspice
- 1/8-1/4 tsp black pepper
- salt to taste (see note below)
- 2-4 TBSP Parmesan Cheese grated
- parsley optional, chopped fresh, for a burst of color
- thyme optional, chopped fresh, for a burst of color
- crushed red pepper flakes optional, for some fiery heat
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Melt butter and add your smashed/minced garlic. Set aside.
- Trim the stems and clean mushrooms by wiping with a slightly damp paper towel. (Washing in water can cause them to soak up water and become soggy) I kept my mushrooms whole here but *totally* feel free to halve or quarter them if you prefer! If I have a few spare seconds I'll cut mine in half.
- Line mushrooms in even layer atop a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with garlic butter, tossing to coat.
- Season with oregano, basil, allspice, thyme, salt and pepper. Short on spices? Feel free to season with your favorite Italian seasoning blend (adjust s+p to taste based on the blend you choose)
- Roast for 20 minutes or until tender and golden. Add any additional seasoning you'd like and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
- Dive in while they're hot!
Notes
- Adjust salt gradually since butter and Parmesan add saltiness; start light and taste before adding more.
- Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel to avoid sogginess caused by rinsing in water.
- Feel free to halve or quarter mushrooms if preferred; roasting time may vary slightly.
- Add fresh herbs or red pepper flakes at the end for added color and a touch of heat.
