Roasted Mushrooms Recipe – Love and Lemons

Learn how to roast mushrooms in the oven! These easy roasted mushrooms have a meaty texture and rich, savory flavor. They’re a delicious side dish!

Roasted mushrooms are underrated. Prove me wrong: when you have mushrooms you need to use up in the fridge, is roasting the first way you think to cook them? My guess is not. Many of us are more likely to sauté mushrooms on the stove than roast them in the oven.

But as delicious as sautéed mushrooms are, I’d argue that roasted mushrooms are even better. They’re crisp around the edges, meaty in the middle, and packed with savory, umami flavor. Plus, they roast on a single sheet pan in under 30 minutes.

I’m sharing my simple roasted mushrooms recipe below. Serve it as a weeknight side dish, or make it for a holiday dinner. Just as easy as it is flavorful, it fits right in at any meal.

Ingredients for Oven Roasted Mushrooms

Here’s what you’ll need to make this roasted mushroom recipe:

• Mushrooms, of course! Stick with white button mushrooms or creminis, or experiment with a mix of varieties. See my favorite types in the callout below!
• Extra-virgin olive oil – It helps the mushrooms brown and soften in the oven.
• Balsamic vinegar – For sweet, tangy flavor.
• Tamari – It brings out the mushrooms’ umami flavor. Soy sauce works too, but be sure to use certified gluten-free tamari if you need this recipe to be gluten-free.
• Fresh herbs – Parsley and thyme offer a fresh, aromatic contrast to the deeply savory mushrooms.
• And salt and pepper – To make all the flavors pop!

How to Roast Mushrooms in the Oven

The first step in this recipe is cleaning the mushrooms. Use a damp paper towel to wipe off any dirt or debris.

• Tip: Don’t wash the mushrooms under running water. They’ll soak it up like a sponge and won’t become crispy in the oven.

Next, chop them. Quarter or halve small mushrooms with caps. Tear or slice other varieties into bite-size pieces.

Then, season the mushrooms. Place them on a large baking sheet and drizzle them with the olive oil, vinegar, and tamari. Sprinkle with several grinds of pepper. Toss to coat and spread in an even layer.

Roast the mushrooms at 450°F for 18 to 20 minutes, or until they’re tender and golden brown. Stir them halfway through the cooking time so that they brown evenly.

Remove from the oven and toss with the parsley, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
