Ingredients You Need

Mushrooms – Almost any kind of mushroom will work. I combined shitake and brown mushrooms (also known as gourmet, cremini/crimini, or chestnut mushrooms) in this variation. However, medium-sized portobello mushrooms can also be used.

Butter or Oil – You can use butter, margarine, or even olive oil so it can produce a beautiful color while maintaining the juicy inside. Later on, you can put some butter to adorn them.

Salt – To balance and enhance the overall flavor. Preferably use sea salt or Himalayan salt.

Optional garnishes: Lemon juice and garlic cloves — these provide a really flavorful touch to buttered mushrooms. However, it’s not necessary because just roasted mushrooms are delicious as they are!

How To Make

STEP 1: Preheat oven to 200°C/392°F.

STEP 2: Remove the stems from the mushrooms and spread them on a baking tray covered with parchment paper.

STEP 3: Cut ½ to 1 inch of margarine (depending on the size of the mushroom) and place it in the mushroom hole so it can spread when melted. Salt each mushroom with a pinch of salt. Also, toss with some minced garlic cloves if you like (totally optional).

STEP 4: Place in the oven and roast for about 20 minutes – do not toss or turn.

STEP 5: Remove from oven, sprinkle with some lemon if you like, and serve immediately! Enjoy!

What To Serve With Roasted Mushrooms

These mushrooms are ideal to serve as a side OR as a main dish, but due to the fact that they are extremely low in calories, you’ll probably be starving in an hour! Lol! I love to eat them more as a side dish, alongside some mashed or roasted potatoes or fish!

However you like, they’ll almost fit anywhere!
