Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 16 oz button mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment:

The vinegar and oil combo really makes these mushrooms pop, but the secret weapon is definitely the fresh thyme. It brings that earthy green note that rounds everything out. If you can’t find fresh thyme, feel free to substitute dried thyme – but please don’t skip it altogether!

How To Make Balsamic Roasted Mushrooms

1. First off, you gotta preheat your oven to 400��F (200��C). Place the mushrooms on a large baking sheet.
2. Next, in a bowl, mix together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. You want to get everything pretty much equally distributed.
3. Drizzle the mushroom with that balsamic mixture, ensuring they are all well-coated.
4. Roast them in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and well-glazed.
5. Serve ’em up and sit back to take in the compliments!

Tips For The Best Results

• Use button or cremini mushrooms for best results.
• Don’t crowd the mushrooms on the baking sheet ��� they should be in a single layer.
• Make sure to turn the mushrooms half-way through roasting to get a nice browning on all sides.

Storage Tips

• Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
• You can reheat them in the microwave, but for optimal texture, try a quick re-saut��.
