ROASTED MUSHROOMS

I have never cooked mushrooms as a side item, until this week. I bet you can guess why not. Yep, that's it. No one likes them but me. My people are a tiny bit picky. Today I'm sharing one of my latest pins. The recipe turned out even better than expected.

Roasted Mushrooms  

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon of olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

2 cloves of garlic

1/4 cup of butter

1 tablespoon of lemon juice 

1 teaspoon of thyme, chopped (I used a dash of powder instead.)

1 pound of mushrooms, cleaned and rinsed

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Rinse your mushrooms and pat dry. Stir your olive oil and salt and pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Add mushrooms and toss.

Line a cookie sheet or baking dish with mushrooms.

Bake for 17-20 minutes or until they begin to brown and caramelize.

Next, cook the butter over medium heat until it starts to brown. Remove from heat. Now add the garlic and lemon juice and thyme. Toss the mushrooms in the butter sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste.

And that's it! What could be easier. We I ate them with grilled chicken, a salad, and a baked potato. They were also good heated up for the next few days. If you're having guest and need a larger serving, it would be really easy to double the recipe. 

The original recipe is from Closet Cooking. I'll be trying more!

Have a great Friday!
