Ingredients
  

1 pound (450g) fresh cremini or button mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Zest of 1 lemon (optional for added brightness)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin your culinary adventure by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This step ensures a perfectly roasted texture.

    Prepare the Mushrooms: Take your cleaned mushrooms and place them in a spacious mixing bowl. For larger varieties, feel free to halve or quarter them to promote even cooking and enhance their roasted flavor.

      Create the Herb Marinade: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, oregano, rosemary, sea salt, and cracked black pepper. This aromatic blend will infuse your mushrooms with savory goodness.

        Coat the Mushrooms: Drizzle the herb marinade over the mushrooms. Use a spoon or your hands to gently toss them, ensuring that every mushroom is evenly coated in the fragrant oil and herbs.

          Arrange for Roasting: Spread the marinated mushrooms out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Avoid overcrowding the mushrooms; this will allow each one to roast to perfection and acquire a delightful golden-brown color.

            Roast to Perfection: Bake the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. About halfway through, give them a gentle stir to promote even roasting and ensure a consistent texture throughout.

              Garnish and Serve: Once the mushrooms are golden brown and tender, remove them from the oven. Transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish and, if using, sprinkle the optional lemon zest over them for a refreshing zing. Finish by adding a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for both color and flavor enhancement.

                Enjoy: Serve these scrumptious roasted mushrooms warm as a delightful side dish, a topping for fresh salads, or as an irresistible addition to pasta dishes!
