Ingredients
Scale
Mushrooms
- 1 pound cremini or button mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, optional
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Mushrooms: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel and trim the stems slightly to remove any rough edges.
- Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting for your preference.
- Coat the Mushrooms: Place the trimmed mushrooms in a large mixing bowl and pour the honey garlic sauce over them. Toss well to ensure each mushroom is evenly coated with the flavorful sauce.
- Prepare for Roasting: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Spread the mushrooms out in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.
- Roast the Mushrooms: Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Halfway through roasting, stir the mushrooms to promote even cooking and browning on all sides.
- Serve: When the mushrooms are golden brown and tender, remove them from the oven. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use fresh mushrooms for the best flavor and texture; cremini mushrooms offer a richer taste compared to button mushrooms.
- Adjust the amount of honey for sweetness according to your preference.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute soy sauce with tamari.
- Do not overcrowd the mushrooms on the baking sheet to ensure they roast rather than steam.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
