Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) mushrooms
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) high-heat oil (olive or avocado)
Liquid Seasonings:
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) soy sauce (or tamari)
Herbs and Spices:
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 grams) fresh thyme (or ¼ teaspoon (1.25 grams) dried thyme)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Warm the culinary chamber to a precise 400°F (200°C), creating an ideal roasting environment for the earthy mushrooms.
- Carefully tumble whole mushrooms into a spacious mixing vessel, generously drizzling with fragrant olive oil, robust balsamic vinegar, and umami-rich soy sauce.
- Mince fresh garlic cloves into fine, aromatic fragments and scatter them across the mushroom medley, complementing with delicate thyme leaves.
- Season the mixture with a balanced whisper of salt and cracked black pepper, ensuring each fungal morsel receives an even coating of seasonings.
- Transfer the seasoned mushrooms onto a rimmed baking sheet, positioning them in a relaxed, single layer to encourage optimal caramelization and prevent steaming.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven, allowing the intense heat to transform the mushrooms into tender, deeply bronzed morsels.
- Midway through the roasting process, gently redistribute the mushrooms with a spatula to promote uniform browning and prevent potential sticking.
- After approximately 20 minutes, retrieve the pan when the mushrooms have developed a rich, glossy exterior and reached a succulent, melt-in-your-mouth consistency.
