Ingredients

Servings

1/2 tsp oil (if oil-free, omit)
2 cups sliced shiitake mushrooms (sliced ~1/4 inch thick // if stalk is stiff, remove)
2-3 tsp tamari (or coconut aminos if soy-free, just use a bit more as it’s not as salty as tamari)
1 ½ tsp maple syrup
1 tsp liquid smoke
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 F (204 C).
Heat a large rimmed oven-safe skillet (we prefer cast iron) over medium heat. Once hot, add oil, then mushrooms, tamari (starting with the lesser amount), maple syrup, liquid smoke, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir to coat.
Sauté, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes. Then transfer to preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until browned, dried, and slightly crispy.
Serve alongside vegan scrambled eggs or the perfect fried egg (if not vegan), or add to quiches, sandwiches, salads, pasta, and more!
Store cooled leftovers in a loosely covered (to allow some airflow) jar in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in a 350 degree F (176 C) oven or on the stovetop over medium heat until hot. These are also delicious served at room temperature or even a bit cold. Best when fresh.

Notes

*Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated with avocado oil and the lesser amount of tamari.
