Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Mushrooms (1 pound (450g), cleaned and stems removed)
  • Olive oil (3 tablespoons)
  • Garlic (4 cloves, minced)
  • Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup, grated)
  • Fresh parsley (2 tablespoons, chopped)
  • Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Thoroughly clean the mushrooms under cold water and gently remove the stems. Pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure they roast properly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
  4. Carefully toss the cleaned mushrooms in the garlic-Parmesan mixture, ensuring each mushroom is evenly coated to absorb all the delicious flavors.
  5. Arrange the coated mushrooms in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring that there is space between them to allow for even roasting.
  6. Roast the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender. For an extra crispy finish, switch to broil for 2-3 minutes at the end, watching closely to prevent burning.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and additional grated Parmesan if desired. Enjoy the rich, satisfying flavors!
