Garlic Parmesan Roasted Mushrooms
This recipe roasts whole or halved cremini or white button mushrooms with butter infused with fresh garlic and a blend of dried herbs. The mushrooms are seasoned thoughtfully with oregano, basil, thyme, allspice, salt, and pepper, then finished with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Roasting yields tender, golden mushrooms with a savory and aromatic profile enhanced by the butter and herbs.
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.
