  3. Spread the mushrooms evenly on the baking sheet and bake for 18 minutes, stirring halfway through baking time.

Notes

  • Garlic: One of the easiest (and our favorite) variations is for garlic roasted mushrooms! Use four cloves of minced garlic with the above.
  • Lemon: Add 1-2 tbsp of lemon juice (or lime juice). For even more lemon flavor, add a teaspoon or so of lemon zest. We recommend adding some before baking the mushrooms and an extra drizzle of lemon before serving them.
  • Soy sauce: To pack in more umami flavor, add 1-2 tbsp of dark soy sauce (and reduce the other salt in the baked mushroom recipe).
  • Balsamic: Add 1-3 tbsp of good-quality balsamic vinegar (pairs well with soy sauce and garlic, too).
  • Spice: Add a pinch (or more) of red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, OR use a little chili oil in place of other oil in the baked mushroom recipe.
  • Other vegetables: Several veggies will cook in the same time frame. This includes asparagus (cut into 2-inch pieces), broccoli (in bite-sized pieces), zucchini (in thick slices/wedges), green beans (whole or halved), cherry tomatoes (whole), bell pepper (diced), etc.
