Description
These Honey and Garlic Roasted Mushrooms are a perfect combination of sweet and savory flavors, with a sticky caramelized glaze that enhances the natural earthiness of cremini or button mushrooms. Roasted at 400°F, they develop a rich, tender texture that makes an excellent side dish or appetizer, garnished with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 lb cremini or button mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
- 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
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt, avoiding rinsing them directly under water to preserve their texture.
- Make the Honey-Garlic Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly blended to form a flavorful glaze.
- Coat the Mushrooms: Add the cleaned mushrooms to the bowl and toss them thoroughly in the honey-garlic sauce until each mushroom is evenly coated with the mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated mushrooms out in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even roasting and caramelization during cooking.
- Roast the Mushrooms: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, stir the mushrooms to promote even caramelization and a sticky glaze formation.
- Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove the mushrooms from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Do not rinse mushrooms under water as they can absorb moisture and become soggy; use a damp cloth instead.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Adjust salt cautiously due to the saltiness of soy sauce.
- These mushrooms can be served as a side dish, appetizer, or added to salads and pasta dishes.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
