    Make a small batch of tender, crispy, roasted garlic mushrooms with a pan sauce in just 15 minutes. These mushrooms would be great added to lots of meals like steak, a simple salad, chicken, or a pork chop and mashed potatoes.

    Ravioli with Creamy Mushroom Sauce, Lentil Stroganoff, and Breakfast Tacos are also great recipes with mushrooms in them.

    How will these mushrooms make your life easier?

    I recommend that people who are cooking for one buy just 1-2 vegetables and use those through the week. That way you're using up what you buy. Of course if you eat lots of vegetables, you can buy more, but this is a great place to get started.

    These roasted garlic mushrooms are great because they're full of flavor, are crispy and can be refrigerated to top other meals. Make a couple cups worth (a couple servings) so you can have roasted mushrooms them for dinner a few nights during the week.

    This is batch cooking at it's finest: make extra servings of a dish you're already making and eat it as leftovers.

    How do I make this roasted mushrooms with garlic?

    mushrooms in a glass bowl

    These roasted garlic mushrooms are very easy to make. Start by preheating the oven to 400 degrees. This hot temperature will quickly cook your shrooms and give them a nice, crispy crust and soft, savory interior.

    While the oven is preheating add washed and dried white button mushrooms to a small mixing bowl, then add garlic cloves, balsamic vinegar, salt, and dried thyme. Toss together with tongs until all mushrooms are evenly coated with dressing.

    NOTE: do not mince the garlic or cut it because it'll burn in the oven. Whole garlic cloves will soften and sweeten when cooked. You'll smash them after and have the most delicious roasted garlic mushrooms!

    uncooked mushrooms on a baking sheet

    Transfer your roasted garlic mushrooms to a quarter baking sheet that has a baking mat or parchment paper on it. Spread the mushrooms out into one layer. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until mushrooms are browned.

    Once the mushrooms are browned and crispy on the edges, remove baking sheet from oven and remove mushrooms from pan.

    smashed garlic on a baking sheet

    Leave remaining oil and garlic on pan, add balsamic vinegar. Using a fork or tongs, smash your garlic cloves, break them up, and spread around the pan, in the oil. Add oil, if needed. This will serve as the sauce for your roasted garlic mushrooms.

    Pour garlic oil over mushrooms before serving. Enjoy these roasted garlic mushrooms over a juicy steak, pork chop, as a steak and mushroom salad, or over pasta, using the garlic sauce as a sauce or dressing.

    Expert tips

    • Make extra roasted garlic mushrooms to refrigerate for later. 
    • Do not mince the garlic or cut it because it'll burn in the oven. Whole garlic cloves will soften and sweeten when cooked.
    • Cut mushrooms in half to cook more quickly. 
    • Remove the smashed garlic before serving if desired. Your oil/sauce will still taste garlicky.

    FAQ

    Do I need to peel mushrooms?

    Nope! You can cut a thin slice off the bottom of the mushroom stem, but I usually don't do that unless it's looking really dirty. Plus, the peel can get nice and crunchy when you roast them! That's part of what makes these roasted garlic mushrooms so good!

    Should you wash mushrooms before eating raw?

    You should always wash mushrooms before using them. Whether you eat them raw or cooked. Mushrooms often have dirt on them that you'll want to remove. Rinse them and scrub any visible dirt off with a soft brush or your finger just prior to cutting them. Dry throughly so they can get crispy when you cook them.

    Should mushrooms be refrigerated?

    Yes, refrigerate them right when you get them home from the store, unless you're going to cook/eat them immediately. I like to just do what they do at the store. If I grab produce from the refrigerated section of the produce aisle, I'll refrigerate it. If not, I'll leave it on the counter. Also, I'd refrigerate these roasted garlic mushrooms if there are any leftovers.

    How can I repurpose these mushrooms?

    I recommend doubling or quadrupling this recipe for roasted garlic mushrooms and serving them over a steak, over a pork chop with mashed potatoes, over mixed greens with sliced steak as a salad, or with chicken.

    What can I make with leftover ingredients?

    • Mushrooms: Ravioli with Creamy Mushroom Sauce, Lentil Stroganoff, and Breakfast Tacos
    • Garlic: Thai Inspired Beef Bowl with Garlic and Spinach
